Incline Information
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and
safe access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks (180 degree turns) that require you to
have good cornering skills on your wheelchair.
■
Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.
■
Take wide swings with your wheelchair’s front wheels around any tight corners. If you do that,
the wheelchair’s rear wheels will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or
get hung up on any railing corners.
■
When operating down a ramp, proceed slowly to ensure a safely controlled descent.
■
Avoid sudden stops and starts.
When climbing an incline, try to keep your wheelchair moving. If you must stop, start up again
slowly and accelerate cautiously. When operating down an incline, proceed slowly. If your
wheelchair starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired, bring it to a
complete stop using both hands, then proceed slowly to ensure a safely controlled descent.
WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never allow the scooter to roll freely while
seated on it or standing next to it.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline.
Drive your scooter straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall.
Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (ie areas covered with
snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves)
WARNING! Never travel down an incline backward. Doing so may cause the wheelchair to tip over.
Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
WARNING! If your scooter is equipped with an optional carry bag mounted to the seat back, do
not overload the bag or exceed the maximum load rating of the bag. Doing so could cause
instability in your scooter when negotiating inclines, causing it to tip.
