Driving up slopes
Warning!
Slopes with an angle of more than 5° must
not be taken.
If you move the wheelchair yourself, always
make sure that you hold on to the hoops, so
the wheelchair cannot start to move by itself.
The wheelchair is less stable on a slope.
Do not drive on slopes when the seat is
tilted.
The attendant pushing the wheelchair must
continue to push to prevent the wheelchair
from moving downhill on its own accord.
Apply the brake of the wheelchair if it is not
pushed or not pushed hard enough.
Driving down slopes
Warning!
The wheelchair will start to move by itself,
caused by gravity.
If you push the wheelchair yourself, use both
hands to control the speed with the hoops.
The attendant pushing the chair must hold
on to the push handles to apply some brake
force.
Prevent the wheelchair from gaining too
much speed.
