1.5.10. Crossing Roads
● You cannot cross a road where pedestrians are prohibited from crossing.
● Before crossing a road, be sure to check to the left and right for safety.
● If the residual capacity of the battery is low, the wheelchair may stall while crossing a
street. Check the residual capacity of the battery before crossing.
● When crossing a road, proceed as close as possible at a right angle to the road. Do not
cross the road diagonally.
● Because the front casters are small, they are able to travel over only small curbs. There -
fore, caution is necessary when traveling over curbs in power drive mode.
● To travel over a curb or other obstacles with the assistant operations, turn off the assistant
controller and go over it manually. If the assistant goes over a curb or other obstacles in
power drive mode, the assistant could easily lose balance and the passenger or assistant
could get injured if the wheelchair tips over.
● When descending from a curb with the assistant operations, descend in reverse. If the as -
sistant moves the wheelchair forward when descending, the passenger may plunge forward
and fall off the wheelchair.
● When going up/down a curb with the assistant operations, the safety wheels of the anti-tip
device may be raised or folded temporarily depending on the height of the curb. After trav-
eling over the curb, be sure to place the safety wheels of the anti-tip devices in the correct
position before operating the wheelchair.
● When traveling over a curb, be careful not to lose your balance.
● When crossing at an unfamiliar location, have an assistant accompany you.
● Do not cross a road if it is dangerous to do so, such as if an automobile is approaching.
● Cross a road at a location where there is a traffic light or crosswalk.
● When traveling over a curb, proceed at a right angle to the curb. Do not traverse the curb
diagonally.
● When traveling between a sidewalk and a road, be careful of curbs.
