Freerider FR168-4IT/Luggie - Manual (Page 18)

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.

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.
