Driving up ramps and sloping surfaces
(Fig. 4)

speed and at the same time control your direction. Lean your upper body forwards and
move both rear wheels with fast, powerful pushes.
Driving down sloping surfaces

When driving down sloping surfaces and slopes, it is important that you have control over
your direction and speed. Lean back and allow the rear wheels to move slowly through
your hands. You should be able to stop the wheelchair at any time by grasping the rear
wheels.
