Taking Obstacles

Your Invacare® Electra can handle obstructions and kerbs up to 5 cm in height.
CAUTION: Danger of Tipping Over!
Never approach obstacles at an angle!
Put your backrest into an upright position before climbing an obstacle!
Driving up over an obstacle
Approach the kerb or obstacle slowly head-on. Shortly
before the front wheels touch the obstacle, increase the
speed and reduce only after the rear wheels have also
climbed the obstacle.
Driving down off of an obstacle
Approach the kerb or obstacle slowly head-on. Before the
front wheels touch the obstacle, reduce speed and keep it
until also the rear wheels have come down off of the
obstacle.
