–
Inclines and declines can only be travelled up to the
maximum safe slope (refer to 11 Technical data, page
102).

Always return the backrest of your seat or the seat
tilt to an upright position before ascending slopes.
We recommend that you position the seat backrest
and the seat tilt (if fitted) slightly to the rear before
descending slopes.
–
Only ever drive downhill at a maximum of 2/3 of the
top speed. Avoid abrupt braking or accelerating on
gradients.
–
If at all possible, avoid driving on wet, slippery, icy, or
oily surfaces (such as snow, gravel, ice etc.) where
there is a risk of you losing control over the vehicle,
especially on a gradient. This may include certain
painted or otherwise treated wood surfaces. If driving
on such a surface is inevitable, then always drive slowly
and with the utmost caution.
–
Never attempt to overcome an obstacle when on an
uphill or downhill gradient.
–
Never attempt to drive up or down a flight of steps
with your mobility device.

When overcoming obstacles, always observe the
maximum obstacle height (refer to 11 Technical data,
page102and information about overcoming obstacles
in 6.5 Taking Obstacles, page 74).

WARNING!
Risk of serious injury or damage
Improper positioning while leaning or bending could
cause the wheelchair to tip forward resulting in serious
injury or damage
–
To assure stability and proper operation of your
mobility device, you must at all times maintain proper
balance. Your power wheelchair has been designed to
remain upright and stable during normal daily activities
as long as you DO NOT move beyond the center of
gravity.
–
DO NOT lean forward out of the mobility device any
further than the length of the armrests.
–
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to
move forward in the seat or pick them up from the
floor by reaching down between your knees.
