Safety information when ascending obstacles
CAUTION: Danger of Tipping Over!
• Never approach obstacles at an angle but at 90 degrees as shown below.
• Put your backrest into an upright position before climbing an obstacle.
NOTE:
Take care when mounting or dis-mounting a kerb. It may be possible to loose drive if the anti-
tipping castors contact the ground.
ATTENTION: Risk of falling out of the chair and damage to the power wheelchair such as
broken castors!
• Never approach obstacles that are higher than the maximum climbable obstacle height. For
the maximum climbable obstacle height, see "Technical specifications" on page 98.
• If unsure whether the kerb climb is possible or not, move away from the obstacle and if
possible find another location.
