When climbing an incline, try to keep your 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 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.
Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed specifically for scooters. Figures 1 and 1A illustrate
your Revo’s stability and its ability to climb grades under various weight loads and under controlled testing condi-
tions.
These tests were conducted with the Revo’s seat in the highest position and adjusted backward on the seat base to
its farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your Revo’s ability to travel up inclines is affected
by your weight, your scooter’s speed, your angle of approach to the incline, and your scooter setup.
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend slopes steeper than those shown in figures 1
and 1A may put your Revo 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 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! 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 scooter in freewheel
mode while seated on it or standing next to it.
