7 Moving/traveling with Wheelblades

The wheelchair with mounted Wheelblades can also be pushed.
The type of travel is different from the usual type of travel when rolling on asphalt. First take
a few careful test drives on safe ground in the presence of an assistant.

are merely an expansion of your range of motion. Always move with caution and only use the
Wheelblades on streets and pathways with packed-down snow.
