After stopping
After stopping the
GATSBY
, turn the key switch to OFF and
remove the key. The ON LED will turn off.
Note:
The EMB (Electromagnetic Brake) locks automatically when the
throttle control lever is released and the
GATSBY
has come to
a
complete stop.
Safe driving
When driving on ramps, high curbs and on sharp turns, drive very
slowly and carefully, preferably with the speed set to MIN.
When going up or down a step, always drive so that the wheels are
fully perpendicular to the step and both of the rear wheels meet the
step at the same time.
Never try to go on an obstacle that is more than the maximum
recommended slope or curb height (see the stabilities and the obstacle
climbing specifications in Appendix A1).
Always drive carefully and adjust your speed to the road conditions.
Before making sharp turns, reduce speed to minimum to prevent
side roll-over.
Climbing an
obstacle
To climb an obstacle, drive the
GATSBY
forward toward the obstacle
until the front wheel touches the obstacle, then, maintaining your
direction, increase speed.

GATSBY
,
do a visual check of all the parts of the vehicle, to make sure that there is
no visible damage. If you have any questions or concerns, contact your

,
as follows:
1. Turn on the key switch.

squeezing the lever.
4. Release the throttle control lever and verify that the
GATSBY
