Dealing with slopes above 6° always with an assistant. This limit is only indicative and depends on the configuration and
in particular the balance of the wheelchair and of the user. The configuration also allows balancing extremes and thus a
proportional risk of rolling over (the greater the distance between the wheel hub and the axis of the back, the better
the handling of the medium but the greater the risk of tipping). The anti-tip wheel can be mounted on request (see chap. 7,
8 and 9).
The wheelchair should be only used for the transport of a person and not of objects in general

operation in the movements of the frame (see par. 2.1, 2.2, and chap. 7,8 and 9) and possibly put a little lubricant if
necessary. Verify the working of removable parts (see par. 2.5 and chap.6).
