II. SAFETY
When climbing an incline, try to keep your Sport Scooter 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 Sport Scooter 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! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than what is shown in figures
1 and 1A may put your Sport Scooter in an unstable position and cause it to tip, resulting
in personal injury.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the
incline. Drive your Sport Scooter 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 Sport Scooter across the side of a hill or diagonally up or
down a hill; 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! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the Sport Scooter in
freewheel mode while seated on it or standing next to it.
WARNING! Even though your Sport Scooter is capable of climbing slopes greater than
those illustrated in figures 1 and 1A, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline
guidelines or any other specifications presented in this manual. Doing so could cause
instability in your Sport Scooter, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to your Sport
Scooter.

WARNING! Never carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 15 lbs. Never fill the rear
basket with contents exceeding 15 lbs.
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 Sport Scooters. Figures 1 and 1A illustrate your Sport Scooters stability and its ability to climb
grades under various weight loads and under controlled testing conditions.
These tests were conducted with the Sport Scooters seat in the highest position and adjusted rearward on the seat
base to its farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your Sport Scooters ability to travel up
inclines is affected by your weight, your Sport Scooters speed, your angle of approach to the incline, and your
Sport Scooter setup.
