3.2.4 Braking
To brake, let go of the speed lever. It will return to the neutral position and slow down your scooter
to a gentle stop. Practice pulling away and braking to get accustomed to the scooter. You need
to be able to estimate how your scooter will react when you drive or brake.
3.2.5 Driving around corners and in bends
WARNING
• Reduce your speed before you enter a curve or corner.
• Always maintain an adequate distance from corners and obstacles.
• Do not drive your vehicle in an "S" pattern or make erratic turnings.
For corners and bends, use both hands to turn the handle bar in the direction you wish to take.
It is very important that you ensure that there is enough space allowing you to go around bends
and corners. Narrow passages must preferably be approached in a large curve so as to allow you
to enter the narrowest part as straight from the front as possible. Bear in mind that your scooter's
back part will in most cases be wider than the front part.

3.2.6 Backward movement

The speed of rearward movement is automatically reduced in comparison with forward driving.
We also recommend that you use the slowest speed setting when you drive backward.
Do not forget that the steering direction with rearward driving is the opposite of when you go
forward, and that your scooter will turn directly in the required direction.
The horn will beep while driving the scooter backwards.
3.2.7 Taking slopes
WARNING
• Never put your scooter in free-wheel mode on a slope. The scooter may start moving, causing
injuries to you or bystanders.
• Do not turn when driving down a slope, since the weight of the scooter may cause tipping over.
• Make sure all four wheel touch the ground while driving up or down.
Driving up
• Drive in a straight line and with higher speed on a slope, and lean slightly forward. When
you drive in an angle or too slow, there is a risk of tipping over or falling.
• Never reverse on a slope.
Going downhill
• Drive in a straight line (forward or backward) and with lower speed on a slope. When you
drive in an angle or too fast, there is a risk of tipping over or falling.
• Lean slightly backward during a forward descent; lean slightly forward during a backward
descent.
3.2.8 Coping with obstacles
WARNING
• Do not use your scooter on an escalator.
• Always approach a kerb from the front.
• Make sure that all wheels make contact to the ground when driving up or down.
It is possible to drive with your scooter over steps of 45 mm maximum. Take a short run-up to
take these steps if neccessary.
