SAFETY
DRIVING ON AN INCLINE
• For maximum stability, lean forward in your Avenger™ seat while
proceeding up ramps, slopes, curbs, or any low rise.
• Drive with caution when attempting to negotiate any incline, even
handicap access ramps.
• Always climb or descend a gradient by driving straight up or straight down
the face of the slope.
• Do not traverse or drive across the face of a gradient.
• Do not attempt to negotiate an incline that is covered with snow, ice, cut or
wet grass, leaves, or any other potentially hazardous material.
• Do not back down an incline.
• Try to keep your Avenger™ moving when climbing an incline. If you do
come to a stop, restart and accelerate slowly and carefully.
• Do not try to descend or climb a slope whose gradient is greater than
recommended. See “Specifications” section.
WARNING: IF, WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN A SLOPE, YOUR SCOOTER STARTS TO
MOVE FASTER THAN YOU FEEL IS SAFE, RELEASE THE THUMB LEVER AND ALLOW
YOUR AVENGER
™
TO COME TO A STOP. WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOU AGAIN HAVE
CONTROL OF YOUR SCOOTER, PUSH THE THUMB LEVER FORWARD AND CONTINUE
SAFELY DOWN THE REMAINDER OF THE SLOPE.
DRIVING DOWN AN INCLINE
• Whenever it is safely possible, drive forward down any ramp, low rise, or
incline.
Golden Technologies Inc. does not recommend that you drive your scooter in
reverse down any incline, ramp, curb, or low rise. Backing down any slope may
create a very hazardous situation.
If it is necessary to back down a slope follow one of two procedures.
