WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up
the face of the incline. Drive your 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! 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
scooter in freewheel mode while seated on it or standing next to it.
Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed specifically for
scooters. Figure 3 illustrates your scooter’s stability and its ability to climb
grades under various weight loads and under controlled testing conditions.
These tests were conducted with the scooter’s seat in the highest position and
adjusted backward on the seat base to its farthest rearward position. Use this
information as a guideline. Your scooter’s ability to travel up inclines is affected
by your weight, your scooter’s speed, your angle of approach to the incline, and
your scooter setup.

(8° STANDARD OR 6° WITH REAR BASKET OR OXYGEN TANK)
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than
shown in figure 3 may put your scooter in an unstable position and
cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury.
WARNING! Never place objects weighing more than 13 pounds on the
rear of the scooter.
