  • Page 27: Driving Technique/Manoeuvring

    10 Driving technique, manoeuvring 10 :1 General Parking: Increase the overall support base of the wheelchair by reversing for about 10 cm, thereby ensuring the castor wheels swing forwards. If the user is left alone in the wheelchair, ensure that the brakes are applied and that the anti-tips are swung down.
  • Page 28 10 Driving technique, manoeuvring Care giver, driving up backwards: Reverse the chair to the edge of the kerb/threshold. Tilt the wheelchair up, if necessary with help from the tilter, so that the castor wheels are in the air. Pull the wheelchair upwards and backwards, ensuring that the castor wheels have cleared the edge before setting down the wheelchair onto all four wheels.
  • Page 29 10 Driving technique, manoeuvring 10:4 Driving technique, inclined surface Please read this important advice for driving up or downhill carefully to mini- mise the risk of tipping. Avoid turning round in the middle of a hill. Always drive as straight up/down as possible. It is better to ask for help than to take a risk on your own.
  • Page 30 10 Driving technique, manoeuvring 10:6 Driving technique, stairs: down Always ask for help. Never use an escalator, even if a care giver is available. We always recommend using two carers for this transfer. One who walks behind and holds on to the push handle and one who walks in front and holds on to the frame (or in the legrests if these are lockable).
  • Page 31 Ensure that rear wheels with quick release hubs are mounted securely, see point 6:7. 10:9 Changing the camber angle, Cross XL The rear wheels are mounted with a standard 2° camber angle. You can change the camber angle by changing the washers between the axle shaft and the nut.
  • Page 32 10 Driving technique, manoeuvring 10:10 Handrims The way in which the user is able to grip the handrims is influenced by the handrim’s material and its distance from the wheel. Cellular rubber and plastic coated handrims are available as options. Cellular rubber/ plastic coated handrims increases the friction.
