V.CURBS & SINGLE STEPS

1.Your scooter is not designed to drive up or down a curb or step more than 1/2 inch high. Doing so may:

•Result in a fall or tip-over.

•Damage the frame, wheels, axles or other scooter parts, or loosen fasteners.

2.To prevent a fall or tip-over, use wheelchair/scooter access ramps or have someone help you.

3.If you must climb or descend a curb or step alone do so at your own risk and use extreme care.

•Go as straight up or straight down as you can. Never turn or climb or descend at an angle as a fall or tip-over is likely.

•Proceed slowly, at a steady speed.

4.Make sure that persons who assist you review the “Tips For Attendants” and heed all warnings.

5.Avoid driving along curb edges and drop-offs. A minimum distance from the edge of 18” is recommended.
