2.2.2 Starting and slowing down
ATTENTION
Avoid jerky starts. The wheelchair could tip
backwards. Thus, when possible, lean your upper
body forward when starting. With children we
always recommend to use the tilt safety whenever
possible.
ATTENTION
While driving, braking occurs through controlled
pressure applied to the hand rims from your palms/
fingers. Please keep in mind that you require more
strength in order to brake going downhill. When
driving downhill make sure to drive slow enough
that you are able to bring the wheelchair to a full
stop at any time.
ATTENTION
Also keep in mind that the hand rims heat up from
friction (especially hand rims with a cover).
ATTENTION
If necessary, use gloves with a leather inner surface
as used by cycling, but NEVER wool gloves.
2.2.3 Danger of tipping and flipping over
