Guidance for Safe Operation and Use
Hill climbing
This scooter has been tested to climb
an incline of no more than 9° with a
maximum user weight of up to 113kg
(250 lbs) (Photo 16.1). Do not attempt to
climb inclines in excess of this.
Always reduce your speed when
reversing on slopes. Do not reverse
down hills in excess of 7° and always use
extreme caution when reversing down
hills.
Do not attempt to drive along with the
wheels at different levels, e.g. along the
footpath and road simultaneously.
Hill climbing capability and distance
travelled between battery charges will be
adversely affected by such things as:
1. The weight of the user.
2. Terrain (e.g. grass or gravel).
3. Steepness of hills.
4. Level of charge and the age of the
batteries.
5. Extremes of temperature.
6. Use and weight of accessories.
Travelling across slopes
Care should be taken traversing across
a slope, always reduce your speed. Do
not traverse across the face of a slope in
excess of 9° (Photo 16.2).
Note: Where possible always travel
up or down hills or ramps
directly facing the slope of the
hill.
Do not traverse across the
face of a slope in excess of 9°.
Disregard of this advice could
result in your scooter tipping.
