CAUTION:
Stability
- Wheelchair is designed to be safe and stable as long
as center of gravity is maintained while going about normal
activities. Care must be taken while performing activities that
shift your center of gravity in the chair. Never reach so far that
require you to shift in the seat or bend over out of the chair.
When you have to reach for objects that require you to lean,
be certain front casters are pointing in a forward position that
extends the wheel base and will stabilize the chair.
Ramps
- Be sure of your own capabilities, limitations and
strength before attempting to go up a ramp. Correct
techniques on ramp negotiation should be shown to you by
a qualified professional. Assistance is recommended when
going up or down inclines greater than 10
o
. If you must stop on
an incline, avoid sudden, abrupt movement when you resume
movement. Because of backward angle of the chair, sudden
abrupt movement could cause instability. Attempting to use
the wheel lock brakes could result in accidental locking, tipping
to one side, or cause a sudden stop. Avoid changing direction
when going down an incline, as this could result in instability
of tipping over.
