3.8 Slopes
With all adjustment options set in their
lowest position and the leg rests also
set as low as possible, it can be
assumed that when using an RWD XP,
a slope of ≤10° (17.6%) belongs to a
normal user environment with no
danger of instability. In an FWD XP
this is ≤6° (10.5%). In the technical
specifications, you will find this under
‘maximum safe slope’.
Driving up slopes

Only drive up a slope with all
adjustment options in the lowest
position and the legrests in the
lowest position.

Slopes with an angle of more
than 10° (RWD) or 6° (FWD) must
not be taken.

Always drive slowly and with
awareness on slopes.

Do not drive down slopes with
loose gravel or a sandy surface,
as one of the rear wheels might
slip

Avoid sudden and jerky
movements.

Avoid directional changes on
slopes.

Do not turn on slopes.

If you notice a strong decrease
in speed when driving up a
slope, take a less steep route.

Driving on a slope too long can
cause overheating.
Driving down slopes

If you must reverse down a
slope, make sure the speed
control is in the lowest position
and drive as slowly as possible
and with the utmost control.

It can be very dangerous to
reverse down a slope.

Prevent the wheelchair from
gaining too much speed.
