14.9 Driving on sideways slopes
Driving on a sideways slope must always be performed with great care. Avoid
sudden avoidance maneuvers and never drive at a speed higher than needed
to maneuver the wheelchair in a safe and secure way. Avoid holes and bumps
as much as possible. Drive slowly and controlled.
Driving on sideways slopes
Never drive sideways slopes bigger than 6°. 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°)
When driving on sideways slopes with an uneven or slippery surface (for
example grass, gravel, sand, ice or snow) you should drive with extra care
and attention.
The position of the seat in height 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.
