SAFETY Cont.
DRIVING ON AN INCLINE
•
Drive with caution when attempting to negotiate any incline, even handicap
access ramps.
•
Always
climb or descend a gradient by driving straight up or straight down the
face of the slope.
•
Do not
traverse or drive across the face of a gradient.
•
Do not
attempt to negotiate an incline that is covered with snow, ice, cut or wet
grass, leaves, or any other potentially hazardous material.
•
Do not
back down an incline.
•
Try to keep your Alante Jr. moving when climbing an incline. If you do come to a
stop, restart and accelerate slowly and carefully.
•
Do not
try to descend or climb a slope whose gradient is greater than
recommended. See “Specifications” section.
IF, WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN A SLOPE, YOUR POWER CHAIR STARTS TO
MOVE FASTER THAN YOU FEEL IS SAFE, RELEASE THE JOYSTICK LEVER AND
ALLOW YOUR ALANTE JR. TO COME TO A STOP. WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOU
AGAIN HAVE CONTROL OF YOUR POWER CHAIR, PUSH THE JOYSTICK LEVER
FORWARD AND CONTINUE SAFELY DOWN THE REMAINDER OF THE SLOPE.
DRIVING DOWN AN INCLINE
•
Always
drive forward down any ramp, low rise, or incline.
Golden Technologies, Inc. does not recommend that you drive your power chair in
reverse down any incline, ramp, curb, or low rise. Backing down any slope may create
a very hazardous situation.
