WARNING: Danger of tipping over!
• Only ever drive downhill at a maximum of 2/3rds of the top speed!
• Always return the backrest of your seat to an upright position before ascending slopes! We
recommend that you lean the backrest slightly to the rear before descending slopes!
• Never attempt to ascend or descend a slope on slippery surfaces or where there is a danger
of skidding (such as wet pavement, ice etc)!
• Avoid trying to get out of the vehicle on an incline or a gradient!
• Always drive in a straight direction along the road or path you are travelling on, rather than
attempting to zigzag!
• Never attempt to turn around on an incline or a slope!
