SAFETY
DRIVING ON AN INCLINE
♦ 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 Compass
™
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 an incline that is greater than the maximum incline
stated in the specifications section of this manual.
If, while you are driving down a slope, your chair starts to move faster
than you feel is safe, gently release the joystick and allow your
Compass
™
to come to a stop. When you feel that you again have
control of your power chair, adjust the speed control to a lower
setting then push the joystick forward and continue safely down the
remainder of the slope.

may affect your judgment and/or your ability to operate your Compass
™
.
Do not connect or allow anyone except an authorized Golden
