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.
