certain painted or otherwise treated wood surfaces.
WARNING
Risk of Death or Serious Injury
Braking hard and/or sudden stops while on inclines could cause loss of stability
resulting in death or serious injury.
While on inclines, ALWAYS travel at a reduced, constant speed to maintain
stability. Traveling down ramps at high speeds will reduce traction and increase
stopping distance.

If stopping becomes necessary while on an incline, release the joystick and allow the
wheelchair to come to a full stop. Then proceed at a slower speed.
