VI. SAFETY WARNINGS & INSTRUCTION LABELS
32
MOVING OVER GRASS & GRAVEL
Care must be taken when attempting to drive over soft surfaces such as those found in parks,
etc. These surfaces may look level; but, hidden dangers on these surfaces may make your
wheelchair become unstable. Avoid unkempt and wet grass, loose deep gravel and/or sand.
DO NOT exceed the capabilities of your wheelchair. Always have an attendant to assist you
in circumstances where you are not certain of the safe travel conditions or the terrain. Always
anticipate and think safety first.
When climbing inclines, the maximum safe gradient limit is 6 degrees. To ensure
your safety and the stability of the wheelchair, always have the anti-tipping
wheels fitted to your wheelchair (FIG 7) when climbing inclines or manoeuvring
obstacles. Always avoid turning on slopes or climbing curbs.
Always make certain that your wheelchair
is in full working order before attempting to
drive.
Always lean forward when ascending an
incline and backwards when descending an
incline to ensure stability as you drive.
Never attempt to drive beyond the design capability of your wheelchair. Observe
weather conditions at all times. Tyres can slip on wet or icy surfaces.
DO NOT drive through deep water or leave your wheelchair exposed to
heavy rain especially during or after wet weather conditions.
DO NOT attempt to turn when navigating up an incline. It is advised
that you only turn when all wheels of your wheelchair are fully on or off
the incline. Failure to observe this caution may result in the wheelchair
toppling over.
Please Note:
The stability of your wheelchair is dependent on a number of factors which you should
consider before attempting to climb an incline or other obstacles:
(a) your height;
(b) the height of your seat;
(c) your weight and
(d) the angle of the incline you are attempting to climb.
All of these factors can affect the stability of your wheelchair. If you are unsure of your
ability to navigate through an obstacle, incline or a surface, try another route. Always
think 'safety first'.
Caution!
