4.29.1 Seat stay
A seat stay is provided on your powered wheelchair to
provide access for service and maintenance. (see section
10 for additional information)
WARNING!
Do not move the wheelchair with the seat stay in place
and make sure you are on flat stable ground.
4.30 Mounting a kerb or step
WARNING!
Always approach a kerb at 90°
Approach the kerb (step) head on driving forwards slowly
and steadily and always at a 90° angle, (Fig.4.3).
Approach the kerb in a 90° angle and stop the wheelchair
as soon as the castor wheels touch the kerb.
Apply sufficient power to the motors to lift the front of the
wheelchair up onto the kerb (step) and then apply slightly
more power and speed so that the drive wheels climb the
kerb (step) smoothly and without hesitation and the rear
castor wheels come up as well. As far as possible, keep
the joystick in the straight forward position, (Fig.4.4 - 4.5).
Note: In accordance to the ground clearance, the
maximum obstacle height possible to climb is 70 mm.
WARNING!
The approach speed and process can vary depending on
your wheelchair performance and castor wheel choice.
