Slopes and Inclines
Care must be taken when ascending, descending or traversing a slope at
all times. The chair stability will become reduced. Where possible a slope
should be descended backwards with assistance from an attendant or
carer. To climb a slope the chair must be pushed forwards with the
attendant supporting from the rear of the chair.
Traversing a slope increases the risk of a sideways tip and should be
avoided wherever possible.
Do not exceed the maximum safe slope.
Transporting Your Wheelchair
Your wheelchair can be treated as a piece of luggage. Wherever possible
remove the wheels, footrests and fold the backrest down to make the
chair lighter and more portable. Stow the chair and its components in a
luggage compartment or boot of a motor vehicle ensuring that it cannot
move around.
