climb or descend a gradient by driving straight up or straight down the face
of the slope.

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

moving when climbing an incline. If you do come
to a stop, restart and accelerate slowly and carefully.

than you feel is safe, gently release the joystick and allow your

control of your power chair, adjust the speed control to a lower
setting then push the joystick forward and continue safely down the
remainder of the slope.
