DRIVING TECHNIQUES
– SLOPE –
Important advise for driving down and uphill
avoiding the risk of tipping.
Avoid turning the wheelchair in the
middle of a slope.
Always drive as straight as possible.
It is better to ask for assistance than
taking risks.
Driving uphill:
Move the upper part of the body forwards in order
to maintain the balance of the chair.
Driving downhill:
Move the upper part of the body backwards to
maintain balance of the chair. Control the speed of
the chair by clutching the push rims. Do not use the
brakes.
