Safety instructions
Slopes and other obstacles
Warning
ƒ Avoid slopes with a gradient greater than 6°.
Driving on slopes (forwards or in reverse) is always
dangerous.
ƒ You must never free wheel down a slope.
ƒ Drive carefully along (pavement) edges. An uneven
surface increases the risk of overturning.
Attention
ƒ Your centre of gravity moves when you drive up or
down a slope. Please beware.
ƒ Turn around carefully on a steep slope as there is a
greater risk of overturning.
ƒ Always mount and leave a pavement in a forward,
straight line. Accelerate very gently. It is better to
mount the pavement using a curb cut.
The maximum bump height you can drive over is
ƒ
10 cm.
Soft, slippery or uneven surfaces increase the risk
ƒ
of a dangerous situation.
