important advise for driving down and up hill
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 back-
wards to maintain
balance of the chair.
Control the speed
of the chair by
clutching the
push rims.
Do not use the
brakes.
