14.5 Driving up and down slopes
DRIVING UP A SLOPE
• To guarantee maximum stability, lean forwards on the scooter seat when you go up ramps or
hills, onto pavements or any low rise;
• Drive carefully when attempting to drive up any slope, including ramps for the disabled;
• Always remain perpendicular to the slope when getting onto/off a sloping surface;
• Never cut sideways across a sloping surface in any direction;
• Do not attempt to drive down a surface covered in snow, ice, freshly cut grass, leaves or
other potentially hazardous materials;
• Do not reverse down a slope;
• Never drive the scooter up or down a slope that is higher than the recommended one. See
the chapter "Technical specifications". Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death;
• Try to keep your scooter moving when driving up or down a slope. If you have to stop, start
up again and accelerate slowly and carefully.
WARNING!
If the scooter starts moving more quickly than you consider safe on a downward slope,
release the accelerator control lever and bring the scooter to a stop. As soon as you
feel you have regained control of the scooter, push the accelerator control lever and
continue driving down the rest of the slope with care.
GOING DOWN A SLOPE
• Set the minimum speed;
• If it is possible to do so safely, drive forwards down any ramp, low rise or sloping surface.
The manufacturer advises against reversing on slopes, ramps, pavements and low rises. Reversing
on a sloping surface can be extremely dangerous.
However, if you do need to reverse, follow one of two procedures.
NOTE:
When one of the following procedures is used to reverse down a sloping surface, the
manufacturer strongly advises using the assistance of another person.
Procedure 1: In operation
• Turn the ignition to the "Off" position;
• Get off the scooter;
• Turn the ignition to the "On" position;
• Remain standing beside the scooter and carefully accelerate the controls at the minimum
speed;
• Slowly and carefully accompany the scooter along the sloping surface;
• Carefully get back on the scooter and return to normal functioning.
Procedure 2: Emergency (not in operation)
• Turn the ignition to the "Off" position;
• Get off the scooter;
• Set the wheel unlocking lever to "Unlocked";
• Remain standing alongside the scooter and accompany it by hand along the entire sloping
