Avoiding Hazards

The PT is highly maneuverable and allows you to easily navigate around ob-

stacles. However, to prevent the loss of traction, you must always be care-

ful when riding and learn to identify and avoid slippery, icy, or wet surfaces,

loose materials (sand/gravel), steep slopes, and obstacles. Stop and step off

your PT and use Riderless Balance Mode (p. 79) to move your PT over unsafe

surfaces or terrain.

Avoiding Slips

The PT Tires must be able to grip the ground for the machine to stay upright!

Slips occur when the tires lose traction, potentially causing loss of control and

a fall. Abrupt maneuvers, and riding over slippery surfaces, loose objects and

materials, or steep slopes can cause the tires to lose traction.

• Avoid abrupt maneuvers, such as fast stopping or starting.

• Avoid riding on slippery surfaces such as snow, ice, wet ﬂoors, wet

grass, or any other surface that might cause slipping.

• Avoid riding over loose objects or materials such as small branches,

litter, or small stones.

• Use caution when riding over any terrain change such as pavement

to grass, or over a threshold or speed bump.

• Avoid riding on steep slopes. Maintain Tire contact with the ground.
