Stationary Obstacles (Steps, Curbs, etc.)
Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces, un-
protected ledges and/or drop-offs (curbs, porches, stairs, etc.). Refer
to the scooter specifi cations for information regarding maximum ob-
stacle climbing height for your scooter.
To navigate up over a curb or stationary obstacle:
1. Approach the curb or obstacle slowly, and make sure the scooter
is traveling perpendicular to the obstacle. See fi gure 6.
2. Increase the forward speed just before the front wheel come in
contact with the obstacle.
3. Reduce the forward speed only after the rear wheels have cleared
the obstacle.
To navigate down a curb or stationary obstacle:
1. Approach the curb or obstacle slowly, and make sure the scooter
is traveling perpendicular to the obstacle. See fi gure 6.
2. Reduce the forward speed just before the front wheel comes in
contact with the obstacle.
3. Increase the forward speed only after the rear wheels has cleared
the obstacle and you are once again on a level surface.
WARNING! Even though your scooter may be
capable
recommend that you do not attempt to negotiate
a curb that has a height greater than 2 in. (5 cm).
Doing so could cause instability in your scooter.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter
climb or descend an obstacle that is inordinately
high unless you have the assistance of an
attendant.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter
proceed backward down any step, curb, or other
obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip.
WARNING! Do not approach curbs at an angle;
instead, approach any curb you intend to ascend
or descend in the forward position.
Outdoor Driving Surfaces
Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—hard, dry, level surfaces
composed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt.
