7. SAFETY
CROSSING OVER OBSTACLES
You may need to overcome some obstacles in your daily use, including door sill, elevators,
slopes, pot holes and rough roads. Improper use may result in damage to the wheelchair or
causing bodily harm.
1. Extreme caution is needed when crossing the door sill. Even a slight height change may
make the front wheels stuck in, tipping over your wheelchair. So please:
• Remove or cover the doorsill with a slope to make the wheelchair climb and descend.
• Position a ramp door.
2. When moving the wheelchair, please take a closer look at the area you are going through.
3. Ensure that you can cross over the obstacles smoothly and safely while using the
wheelchair.
4. Followings are the measures to move your body:
• Slightly tilt your upper body forward when you are about to cross an obstacle.
• Lean your upper body gently against the backrest when crossing over an obstacle with
a descending slope.
REVERSE DRIVING
Please be extremely cautious when driving in reverse. If the rear wheels run into an obstructive
object, your wheelchair may get out of control and tip over.
1. You shall approach slowly while driving in reverse.
2. You shall often stop and check to ensure that all obstructive objects are cleared
on your passing road.
