M1
CAUTION!
Operation - slopes
When driving downhill, select the slowest speed and proceed with
caution. Driving down a slope may shift the user's center of gravity
forward. If the wheelchair rolls faster than you would like, stop the
wheelchair by releasing the joystick and begin descending again more
slowly.
Avoid sudden stops or starts. Stop by releasing the joystick rather than by
turning the power off. Turning off power while the wheelchair is in motion
will cause the wheelchair to stop suddenly. Permobil recommends the use
of securely fastened positioning belts at all times.
When driving up a slope, try to keep moving at a steady speed. Stopping
and starting the wheelchair while moving up a slope makes the wheelchair
more difficult to control.
Do not drive up or down slopes with gradients greater than those set forth in
the technical specifications section of this User's Manual. There is a risk that
the wheelchair will not maneuver safely.
