Preparing for use
The wheelchair consumes much power when you drive up a hill,
climb over obstacles, or drive on rough terrain (for example sand).
Permobil recommends that you, as far as possible, avoid to drive for
a long period of time in these types of conditions.
4.2.4.1 Driving restrictions related to different surfaces
Do not drive at high speed, avoid sudden stops and starts; avoid
sudden evasive maneuvers or sharp turns and use extreme caution in
any of the following situations:
• when near edges and drops or on elevated surfaces,
• when on soft or uneven surfaces; such as grass, gravel, sand, ice,
snow,
• when driving from an area of high traction (e.g. sidewalk) to an
area of low traction (e.g. grass),
• when turning the wheelchair,
• when in narrow or confined spaces, and
• when driving on surfaces that have ridges that could cause the
wheelchair to move in a different direction.
These restrictions also apply to subsequent sections.
