When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 2A. This shifts the center of gravity of you and your PMV toward the front of the PMV for improved stability.

NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the powered PMV may "rollback" approximately 1 foot before the brake engages. If the throttle control lever is released while moving in reverse, the powered PMV may "rollback" approximately 3 feet before the brake engages.

CORNERING INFORMATION

Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of tipping include, but are not limited to, cornering speed, steering angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven road surfaces, inclined road surfaces, riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction (such as passing from 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 steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your PMV from tipping.

WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When using your PMV 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.

BRAKING INFORMATION

Your PMV is equipped with these powerful brake systems:

!Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the center/ stop position.

!Disc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop, or when power is removed from the system for any reason.

!Handbrake: Gives you additional stopping power when squeezed.
