II. SAFETY
When climbing an incline, try to keep your PMV moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then acceler-
ate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest setting and
driving in the forward direction only. If your PMV starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or
desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever. Then push the throttle control
lever forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the
incline. Drive your PMV straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip
or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
WARNING! Do not drive your PMV across the side of an incline or diagonally up or down an
incline; do not stop, if possible, while driving up or down an incline.
WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas
covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).
WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the PMV in freewheel
mode while seated on it or standing next to it.
WARNING! Even though your PMV is capable of climbing slopes greater than illustrated in
figure 1, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or any other
specifications presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your PMV,
resulting in personal injury and/or damage to your PMV.
Figure 1. Maximum Recommended Incline Angle
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than what is shown in figure
1 may put your PMV in an unstable position and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury.

Handicap public access ramps are not subject to government regulation in all countries, and therefore do not
necessarily share the same standard percent of slope. Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed
specifically for PMVs. Figure 1 illustrates your PMV’s stability and its ability to climb grades under various weight
loads and under controlled testing conditions.
These tests were conducted with the PMV’s seat in the highest position and adjusted rearward on the seat base to
its farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your PMV’s ability to travel up inclines is affected
by your weight, the PMV’s speed, the angle of approach to the incline, and your PMV setup.
