      1. If the appliance does not stop when the accelerator is released on a ramp with more than a 2% inclination, the safety switch must be turnend to the "0" position. However, this may only be done if, for safety reasons, the proper mechanical function of the parking brake has been checked prior to every operation of the appliance.

      2. Switch off the appliance only after it comes to a complete halt (on an even surface) and call customer service!

      In addition to this, follow all warning instructions for braking.

      DANGER

      Danger of tipping if gradient is too high.
