WARNING! When on any incline, never place the Breeze S in freewheel mode while
seated on it or standing next to it.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive up at an angle.
Always drive your Breeze S scooter straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the
possibility of tipping over or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an
incline.
WARNING! Do not drive your Breeze S 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 Breeze S is capable of climbing slopes greater than
those illustrated in Figure A, do not, under any circumstances, exceed
the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this
manual. Doing so could cause your Breeze S 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. Figure A illustrates your
Breeze S’s stability and its ability to climb includes under various weight loads and under
controlled testing conditions.
These tests were conducted with the Breeze S’s seat in the highest position and in its
farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your Breeze S’s ability to
travel up inclines is affected by your weight, scooter speed, your angle of approach to the
incline, and your Breeze S setup.
WARNING! Any attempt to go up or down a slope steeper than shown in Figure-A may
make your Breeze S unstable and cause it to tip.
WARNING! Never carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 15 lbs (6.8 kg). Never put
more than 8 Kg (17.6 lbs) in the front basket or more than 10 Kg (22 lbs) 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 Breeze S toward the front of the Breeze S for
improved stability.
NOTE: If the throttle control lever is released while you are moving forward up a
ramp, the Breeze S 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
Breeze S may roll back approximately 3 feet (one meter) before the brake engages.
