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
