II. SAFETY When climbing an incline, try to keep your PMV moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then acceler- ate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest setting and driving in the forward direction only. If your PMV starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever. Then engage the throttle control lever slightly to ensure

II. SAFETY When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 2A. This shifts the center of gravity of you and your PMV toward the front of the PMV for improved stability. NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the powered PMV may "rollback" approximately 1 foot before the brake engages. If the throttle control lever is released while moving in reverse, the powered PMV may "rollback" approximately 3 feet before the
