Anleitung Zusammenfassung
Avoid this danger at all times by decelerating and steering a wide arc around corners and obstacles. Steering in a Tight Spot If you must steer in a tight spot, such as entering a doorway or when turning around: 1. Bring your Companion to a full stop. 2. Set speed at a low level. 3. Turn the tiller to the direction in which you wish to drive. 4. Press gently on the appropriate thumb lever. This will make your Companion turn very sharply. For more information on dealing with obstacle and tight spots, see “Control Through Tight Spots” on this page. Steering in Reverse Backing up your Companion requires attention to what you are doing. 1. Use your left thumb to press against the left thumb lever. See figure 4. 2. Turn the tiller to the left to drive in reverse to the left. 3. Turn the tiller to the right to drive in reverse to the right. NOTE: Your Companion’s speed in reverse is fifty percent of the maximum speed set at the speed control dial. CONTROL THROUGH TIGHT SPOTS As you use your Golden Companion to greatly increase your mobility, you will undoubtedly encounter some obstacles that will require practice to negotiate smoothly and safely. Below are some common obstacles that you may meet during the daily use of your scooter. Listed with those obstacles are some driving tips that should help you conquer those obstacles. Learn and follow those tips, and with surprising ease you will soon be in control of your Companion as you maneuver it through doors, up and down ramps, up and over curbs, through grass and gravel, and up and down inclines. Companion Companion Owner's Manual: GC222, GC223, GC322, GC323, GC325, GC421 RIDING YOUR COMPANION Ramps When proceeding up any ramp, curb, or incline: • Lean forward in your seat to move your center of gravity forward for maximum stability and safety. See figure 11. If the ramp has a switchback, good cornering ability is required. • Maneuver your Companion so that the front wheels take wide swings around the corners of the ramp. • Doing this will allow your scooter’s back wheels to follow a wide arc around the corner, staying clear of obstacles. If you must stop your Companion while driving up a ramp: • Starting up again simply requires that you apply gentle and steady forward power (pressure to the forward (F) thumb lever). • Accelerate gently after stopping on any incline. Driving down a ramp: • Keep your Companion’s speed control dial set fully counterclockwise at the slowest speed setting. • If you must come to a stop, release the thumb control lever slowly and smoothly. Curbs • Maximum curb height is 3" • Always use caution when negotiating any curb. • Go up or down a curb only at a direct 90° angle. • Approach and negotiate the curb so that both back wheels of your scooter go over the curb at the same time. • Never negotiate inclines or curbs by traversing them. See figure 12. Doing so may cause the scooter to tip over. • Go down a curb slowly to avoid a jarring bump. Use as little power as possible. Grass and Gravel Your Golden Companion performs admirably on grass, gravel, and hills, but you must follow the operational parameters presented in this manual. Refer to the “Safety” section. If you are unsure about any situation, avoid it. Common sense is your best protection. • Feel free to use your Golden Companion on lawns or in park areas. • Avoid long or high grass, which may wrap around your scooter’s axles. FIGURE 11.
