Caution
Please show the utmost consideration
for the other traffic on the road.
Remember that the last thing a car
or lorry driver expects to see is a
wheel chair backing off the kerb
into the road. If in any doubt, do not
risk crossing the road until you are
certain that it is safe.
Always cross the road as quickly as
possible; there may be other traffic.
Adverse conditions
Please be aware that when driving
your wheelchair in adverse
conditions, e.g. on wet grass, mud,
ice, snow, or other slippery
surfaces you may experience a
reduction in the grip and traction of
your wheelchair. We recommend
you take extra precautions in these
conditions, particularly on hills and
slopes, your wheelchair could
become unstable or skid causing
possible injury. Extreme variances
in temperature may trigger the self
protect mechanism in the control
system. If this occurs the control
system will temporarily shut down
to prevent damage to the
electronics or the chair.
Ramps
When using a ramp, please ensure
that is capable of taking the
combined weight of the powerchair
and yourself. If a ramp is being
used to load a chair into a vehicle,
please ensure the ramp is properly
secured to the vehicle. Always
approach the ramp head-on and
exercise caution (Fig. 56).
