WARNING!
Do not drive your
TG400RS
scooter across an incline or diagonally up
or down an incline; if possible, do not stop while driving up or down an incline.
WARNING!
Do not drive up or down a potentially hazardous incline (e.g., areas
covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).
WARNING!
Even though your
TG400RS
is capable of climbing slopes greater than those
illustrated in Figure C, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline
guidelines or any other specifications presented in this manual. Doing so could
cause your
TG400RS
to become unstable. Note that public accesses ramps are
not subject to government regulation in all countries, and therefore do not
necessarily have the same standard degree of slope. Other inclines may be
natural or not be designed specifically for scooters. The Figure on the previous
page illustrates your
TG400RS
stability and its ability to climb includes under
various weight loads and under controlled testing conditions.
These tests were conducted with the
TG400RS
seat in the highest position and in
its farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your
TG400RS
ability to travel up inclines is affected by your weight, scooter speed, your angle of
approach to the incline, and your
TG400RS
setup.
WARNING!
Any attempt to go up or down a slope steeper than shown in Figure
C may make your
TG400RS
unstable position and cause it to tip.
WARNING!
Never carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 15 lbs (6.8 kg). Never
put more than 5 Kg (11 lbs) in the front basket or more than 8 Kg (17.6lbs) in the
rear basket.
Figure B. Normal Driving Position
Figure C. Increased Stability Drive Position
When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward.
See Figures B and C
.
This shifts the centre of gravity of you and your
TG400RS
toward the front of the
TG400RS
for improved stability.
NOTE: If the throttle control lever is released while you are moving forward up a
ramp, the TG400RS may roll back approximately 1 foot (30 cm) before the brake
engages. If the throttle control lever is released while you are moving in reverse, the
TG400RS may roll back approximately 3 feet (one meter) before the brake engages.
