SAFETY
DRIVING YOUR BUZZAROUND LITE™ ON AN INCLINE
• For maximum stability, lean forward on your seat while proceeding up
ramps, slopes, curbs, or any low rise.
• Drive with caution when attempting to negotiate any incline, even
handicap access ramps.
• Always climb or descend a gradient by driving straight up or straight down
the face of the slope.
• Do not traverse or drive across the face of a gradient.
• Do not attempt to negotiate an incline that is covered with snow, ice, cut
or wet grass, leaves, or any other potentially hazardous material.
• Do not back down an incline.
• Try to keep your Buzzaround Lite moving when climbing an incline. If you
do come to a stop, restart and accelerate slowly and carefully.
• Do not try to descend or climb a slope whose gradient is greater than
recommended. See “Specifications” section.
WARNING: IF, WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN A SLOPE, YOUR SCOOTER STARTS TO
MOVE FASTER THAN YOU FEEL IS SAFE, RELEASE THE THUMB LEVER AND ALLOW
YOUR BUZZAROUND LITE TO COME TO A STOP. WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOU AGAIN
HAVE CONTROL OF YOUR SCOOTER, PUSH THE THUMB LEVER FORWARD AND
CONTINUE SAFELY DOWN THE REMAINDER OF THE SLOPE.
DRIVING DOWN AN INCLINE
• Always drive forward down any ramp, low rise, or incline.
Never drive your scooter in reverse down any incline, ramp, curb, or low
rise. Backing down any slope may create a very hazardous situation.
