As you begin using your Dynamo during your daily activities, you will probably encounter situations for
which you will need some practice negotiating on your scooter. Simply take your time as you operate your
Dynamo and you will soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver through doorways, on and off
of elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.
DOORS
n Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.
n Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.
n Drive your Dynamo gently and slowly forward to push the door open; or drive your Dynamo gently and
slowly backwards to pull the door open.
ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door-edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, will reopen the elevator door(s).
n If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge
or allow the rubber door edge to contact the scooter and the door will reopen.
n Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or Dynamo accessories do not become caught in the elevator
doors.
RAMPS AND OTHER INCLINES
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination. These ramps are designed for
easy and safe scooter access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks that require good cornering skills
on your Dynamo.
n Take wide swings with your Dynamos front wheel around any tight corners. If you do that, the Dynamos
rear wheels will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on any
railing corners.
n When driving down a ramp, keep the Dynamos speed adjustment dial set to the tortoise (slowest speed
setting) to ensure a safely controlled descent. See V. Description.
n Avoid sudden stops and starts.
Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed specifically for scooters. Figure 1 illustrates
your Dynamos stability and its ability to climb grades under various weight loads and under controlled
testing conditions.
