max. acceptable uphill slope
When driving on uphill slopes with an uneven or slippery surface (for
example grass, gravel, sand, ice or snow) you should drive with extra care
and attention.
When driving on uphill you can use the tilt (if build in) to create a more
stabile seating position for yourself.
Never drive uphill on slopes bigger than 10°. This might result into
uncontrollable behavior of the wheelchair. This can lead to material or
personal damage. (
Dynamic stability according to ISO 7176-2= 6°.
The position of the seat in height and angle or the position of the backrest
has great influence on the stability of the wheelchair if driving on slopes.
Make sure the seat is in the optimal driving position to avoid tipping over.
