CAUTION:
Stability
- Wheelchair is designed to be safe and stable as long as
center of gravity is maintained while going about normal activities.
Care must be taken while performing activities that shift your
center of gravity in the chair. Never reach so far that require you
to shift in the seat or bend over out of the chair. When you have to
reach for objects that require you to lean, be certain front casters
are pointing in a forward position that extends the wheel base and
will stabilize the chair.
Ramps
- Be sure of your own capabilities, limitations and strength
before attempting to go up a ramp. Correct techniques on ramp
negotiation should be shown to you by a qualified professional.
Assistance is recommended when going up or down inclines greater
than 10
o
. If you must stop on an incline, avoid sudden, abrupt
movement when you resume movement. Because of backward
angle of the chair, sudden abrupt movement could cause instability.
Attempting to use the wheel lock brakes could result in accidental
locking, tipping to one side, or cause a sudden stop. Avoid changing
direction when going down an incline, as this could result in
instability of tipping over.
