ATTENTION
Do not drive towards, for example, curbsides without
braking, DANGER OF TIPPING OVER!
ATTENTION
(1) In order to overcome height differences or when
using an elevator and lifting platforms, you generally
have to deactivate the anti-tipper. You could become
restricted in maneuverability.
(2) In order to overcome curbsides your carer should
slightly tilt you backwards, lift both casters over the
threshold and then, with the rear wheels, carefully
push the wheelchair over the edge-DO NOT LIFT. The
anti-tipper must be deactivated.
(3) When driving off of the curb please proceed
correspondingly.
ATTENTION
For this, the casters must stay in the air until the
rear wheels are over the threshold. DO NOT put the
caster down first, DANGER OF FLIPPING OVER.
(4) Practiced drivers can overcome curbsides with the
so called wobbling without someone's help. Slowly and
with the help of a carer familiarize yourself with this
technique.
ATTENTION
This maneuver requires a lot of practice and control
over the wheelchair!
• Drive slowly in a 90° angle up to the spot you
want to overcome and wobble the wheelchair
slowly backwards so that the casters do not
have contact to the ground.
• Bring the casters hanging in the air over the
threshold/edge and drive the wheelchair up to
the obstacle.
• Drive over the threshold/edge with your upper
body leaning forward as far as possible and
put the casters down on the ground after.
