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
