Warning :

Do not overload your scooter at the rear when climbing an

incline. Always lean forward to provide the best stability and prevent rearward

tipping.

Warning :

Any attempt to climb or descend an incline steeper than shown in the

scooter specification at the rear of this manual may put your scooter in an unstable

position and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury. Never remove the anti-

tipping wheels of your scooter. They are an important part of your scooters design.

Warning :

Failure to observe the above warning may result in personal injury

and/or damage to you, your scooter and properties.

INCLINES

More and more modern buildings are designed with disability access in mind.

Ramps have specified percentage of incline designed for easy and safe access.

Some ramps may have turning switchbacks (180 degree turns) that require you to

have good cornering skills on your scooter. Proceed with extreme caution as you

approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline. Always sit with your back on the

back rest of your seat, brace your hands on the handlebars and position your feet on

the floorboard of your scooter.

Take a wide arc with your Luggie around tight corners. Your rear wheels will follow

preventing you from cutting the corner short and bumping or getting hung up on

raised curbs. When descending an incline, keep your speed adjustment set to the

slowest speed to ensure a safely controlled descent. Always drive down an incline

facing forward only. If your scooter descent is quicker than you anticipated, allow the

scooter to completely stop, then progress at a slower speed setting.

Warning :

Never drive down an incline at full speed. When climbing an incline, try to

keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly and then accelerate

smoothly with caution. Avoid sudden stops and starts. Lean forward towards your

handlebars to increase stability and prevent rear tipping when moving up the incline.

6 degrees maximum incline
