WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the

incline. Drive your Travel Scooter 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 Travel Scooter 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 Travel Scooter in

freewheel mode while seated on it or standing next to it.

WARNING! Even though your Travel Scooter is capable of climbing slopes greater than

those 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 Travel Scooter, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to your Travel Scooter.

CORNERING INFORMATION

Excessivelyhigh cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of

tippinginclude, butarenot limitedto,corneringspeed,steeringangle(howsharplyyouareturning),unevenroad

surfaces,inclinedroadsurfaces,ridingfromanareaoflowtractiontoanareaofhightraction(suchaspassingfrom

a grassy area to a paved area – especially at high speed while turning) and abrupt directional changes. High

cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a corner, reduce your speed and

steeringangle(i.e., lessenthesharpnessofthe turn) topreventyourTravel Scooter fromtipping.

WARNING!

When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When using your Travel Scooter at

higher speeds, do not corner sharply. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. To

avoid personal injury or property damage, always exercise common sense when cornering.
