WARNING
•
Do not attempt to conquer a curb with a
height greater than 2in. (5cm.). Failure to
comply could cause ZX-1 to tilt and injury
to operator.
•
Do not operate ZX-1 backward down any
step, curb, or other obstacle. Failure to
comply may cause ZX-1 to tilt and injury
to operator.
INCLINES
WARNING
•
Do not place ZX-1 in freewheel mode
while on an incline or decline.
•
Do not operate ZX-1 backward down an
incline.
•
Do not operate ZX-1 in a
“zig
zag”
pat-
tern up or down slopes.
Do not operate ZX-1 on hazardous inclines
such as snow, ice, wet leaves, etc.
•
Do not operate ZX-1 on any slopes
(regardless of surface type) of greater than
6°.
•
Failure to comply with any of the above
warnings could cause injury to operator
and damage to equipment.
The ZX-1 is capable of navigating up and
around most wheelchair access building
ramps. When operating the ZX-1 on
wheelchair building access ramps, slow ZX-1
operation during tight turns which require keen
cornering skills. Use caution when
approaching any ramps or steep grades.
Reduce ZX-1 to lowest speed setting during
ramp operations, and perform wide turns
around tight corners.
While operating ZX-1 on inclines, keep ZX-1
moving if possible. Operate ZX-1 pointed
straight up or down any hills; the ZX-1 is most
stable pointed straight up or straight down
hills. If stopping becomes necessary, slowly
resume operation and accelerate cautiously.
On decline, operate ZX-1 in a forward direc-
tion only. If ZX-1 begins to accelerate faster
than desired, release joystick and allow ZX-1
to completely stop. Once ZX-1 is at rest, gen-
tly push joystick forward to complete con-
trolled descent.
RAMPS
Perform the following steps when operating
ZX-1 UP any ramp, curb, or incline:
1.
Lean forward in ZX-1 seat to move your
center of gravity forward for maximum
stability and safety.
NOTE
•
If the ramp has a switchback, good cor-
nering ability is required.
