 Maximum recommended incline
Extensive testing on gradients has been performed on the Mambo. Our results show that the maximum
incline your Mambo can safety climb is six or eight degrees at maximum weight capacity. Five degrees is
the angle of most handicap access ramps. Any attempt to climb a larger gradient may put your Mambo in an
unstable position.
Attention:
♦ When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline. Always drive
your Mambo straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall. Always
exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
♦ Never travel on a gradient that can be potentially hazardous (for example, areas covered with snow, ice,
cut grass, and/or fallen leaves).
