• Slowly press the accelerator, to move the scooter forward.
• Never stop the scooter on an incline. Do not zigzag, but travel in a straight line to the top.
• If the scooter loses momentum, quickly apply the hand brake and put both feet on the ground. Get off the scooter and control the scooter either up or down the incline.
• Go very slowly while driving down a ramp. Do not go down the ramp or hill at a side angle. Try to avoid turns while descending. Keep your hand on the brake handle and slowly apply pressure if the scooter picks up too much speed.

CURBS

• The scooter should not be driven over any curb. Apply the brake, turn off the scooter, and get off the scooter. Lift or walk the scooter around the curb before getting back on.

WARNING

• Attempting to drive over a curb can cause the product to tip over backwards resulting in possible injury and will cause damage to the scooter.
• Also, use caution when driving on sidewalks near curbs to avoid one wheel falling off the curb. This will cause the scooter to tip over and can result in serious injury or death.

SPEEDBUMPS AND UNEVEN SURFACES

• Generally, the scooter can handle slightly uneven surfaces. You should approach each at a reduced speed and in a direct frontal position.
• Please keep in mind that the small wheels cannot roll over objects higher than 2 inches (5cm) and you may fall if you attempt to do so.
• WARNING Attempting to drive over speed bumps or uneven surfaces can cause the product to tip over backward and can result in serious injury or death.

POTHOLES AND PUDDLES

• Avoid all potholes and deep puddles.
• WARNING Attempting to drive over potholes or deep puddles can cause the product to tip over backwards and can result in serious injury or death.
