Driving the vehicle - hazards

3. Kerbs and Obstacles:
Try to avoid kerbs and obstacles. Never ride up or down kerbs or obstructions
higher than that in the Technical Specification Sheets. Always tackle obstacles head on. Use ramps wherever
possible and ensure that all wheels will fit on the ramp. Always try to avoid crossing a slope. If you have to
cross a slope, take great care to avoid tipping. Never make sharp turns on slopes or back down a slope.

become unstable and tip over. Your scooter has been designed to operate on paved, even surfaces and
should not be used on rough or rutted terrain. Do not exceed the maximum safe slope recorded in the
Technical Specifications.
