M1
Driving uphill
Always drive uphill with great care.
Avoid sudden evasive maneuvers and never drive so fast that you are
unable to control the wheelchair safely and without risk.
WARNING!
Risk of tipping on uneven surfaces
Take great care when driving on side slopes with an uneven surface (e.g.
grass, gravel, sand and snow).
WARNING!
Risk of tipping when driving uphill
Do not drive uphill on gradients greater than ≥10.5°.
Because seat angles and/or back angles change the center of gravity and
increase the risk of tipping, only use these seat functions on flat surfaces
and always drive with great caution and at low speed.
