Driving The Vehicle – Hazards
Read this before driving the vehicle
Failure to do this may cause damage to yourself, a third party or the vehicle.
Getting on and off the vehicle: Stop the vehicle on a flat area. Turn off the ignition and remove the key. Make sure you get off the vehicle in a safe area.
Curbs and Obstacles: Do not ride up curbs or obstructions higher than 1”. On any inclines
make sure you lean forward. This places more weight over the front making the vehicle more stable.
Hills and Slopes: Lean forward when going up. Make sure you have enough speed to make the slope. Do not stop or turn the vehicle around. If you have to turn while climbing an incline keep going until you reach a level area. If you have to start on an incline lean forward and apply power slowly – do not start and stop. Always check the battery level is high. If the level drops too low the vehicle will cutout leaving you stranded.
Lean back in the seat when going forward downhill, and turn the speed control dial to low (page 12).
Do not drive across a slope at an angle – always drive straight up and down the slope.
NEVER BACK DOWN A SLOPE!
Turning: Slow down and look in the direction you are travelling – if it’s a blind corner sound the horn.
Bad Weather: If its snowing or icy stay at home! Remember that ice, snow and slippery surfaces such as manhole covers, wet grass and drains could affect braking and steering. Use caution at all times.
