DRIVING GUIDELINES

After beginning to use your Hurricane PMV on a daily basis, you may encounter situations that, at first, may require some practice to negotiate on your PMV. With a little bit of patience and practice, you will soon be able to achieve total control through doorways, elevators, up and down ramps, and over grass and gravel.

Doors

Determine if the door opens toward or away from you. Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push- bar. Drive your Hurricane PMV gently and slowly forward to push the door open; or drive our Hurricane PMV gently and slowly backwards to pull the door open.

Elevators

Modern elevators have a door-edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, will reopen the elevator door(s). If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow the rubber door edge to contact the PMV and the door will reopen. Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or Hurricane PMV accessories do not become caught in the elevator doors.

Ramps and Other Inclines

An increasing number of buildings have ramps for PMV access. There may be a turning switchback in the middle of the ramp which may require proficient cornering skills. Take wide swings with your front wheels around any tight corners, so the back wheels will trace a wide arc and not shortcut the corner. When going down a ramp, it is best to keep your speed dial set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a safely controlled descent. Avoid sudden stops on any incline.

Rough Terrain

Your Hurricane PMV is designed to operate on grass, gravel, and hills. However, you must not exceed the recom- mendations in this manual. Safety must always come first. If you are uncertain about a situation, avoid it. Feel free to use your Hurricane PMV on lawns or in park areas, but avoid tall grass. Packed gravel, such as in driveways or on roads will not present a problem, but avoid loosely packed gravel or sand. The power of your Hurricane PMV will enable you to climb hills, but to ensure proper stability, do not exceed the specifications listed below.
