Driving over Obstacles
Warning
Always drive over obstacles with extreme caution.
Do not drive the wheelchair over obstacles higher than 5 cm, when driving forward. If you drive
over higher edges, there is a higher risk of tipping and of damaging the wheelchair.
Changing the seat from the default sitting or standing locations changes the center of mass and
increases the risk of tipping. Therefore, use the Seat Elevator, Sit to Stand and Seat Forward
functions with extreme caution and at low speed.
The Seat Forward function should only be used indoors and only when driving at up to 25% of the
maximum speed.
Use the obstacle profile to drive over obstacles. This profile provides the additional power
needed.
