When climbing an incline, try to keep your PMV moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest setting and driving in the forward direction only. If your PMV starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever. Then push the throttle control lever forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.

WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the PMV in freewheel mode, especially while seated on it or standing next to it.

WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline. Drive your PMV 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 PMV 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! Even though your PMV is capable of climbing slopes greater than those listed in the product specifications, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your PMV.

Handicap public access ramps are not subject to government regulation in all countries, and therefore do not necessarily share the same standard percent of slope. Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed specifically for PMVs.

These tests were conducted with the PMV’s seat in the highest position and adjusted rearward on the seat base to its farthest rearward position. Use the specification information as a guideline. Your PMV’s ability to travel up inclines is affected by your weight, your PMV’s speed, your angle of approach to the incline, and your PMV setup.

WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than what is listedi n the product specifications may put your PMV in an unstable position and cause it to tip.

WARNING! Never carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 15 lbs. (6.8 kg). Never fill the rear basket with contents exceeding 15 lbs. (6.8 kg).
