Driving Your Powerchair
Ramps, Slopes and Cambers
The indoor/outdoor Powerchair has the ability to negotiate ramps, slopes and cambers
of a low to medium gradient. It is of the utmost importance that the following points are
observed:
1.
Never
attempt to go up or down an incline which has a rough, wet or slippery
surface (loose gravel, tree roots, wet grass, polished floor, etc.)
2.
Always
approach an incline head on, not at an angle
3.
Always
travel at a speed that you are comfortable with and that you feel in
complete control
4.
Avoid
sudden or erratic action with the joystick
5.
Always
have the reclining seat in the most upright position when driving up an
incline
6. When riding along in a straight line you may experience “veering to one side”.
This is due to the natural camber in the construction of the pavement. To correct
this you simply have to steer slightly against it, as you continue to move forward
