Parking - Handicare Ibis 24 User Manual

•
The person pushing the wheelchair must continue to push, to
prevent the wheelchair from moving downhill on its own accord.
•
Apply the brake of the wheelchair if it is not pushed or not
pushed hard enough. See 'Parking'.
Driving down a slope
The wheelchair will start to move by itself, caused by gravity.
Therefore, it does not have to be pushed. But it is necessary to
hold on to the pushing handles to apply some brake force, or (in
the case of Ibis 24") to adjust the speed of the hoops with both
hands, so that the wheelchair cannot start moving downhill at
uncontrollable speeds, which might cause frightful damage or
injury
It is not recommended to go down stairways.
