6. Ramps
Be sure of your own capabilities, limitations and strength before attempting to
go up a ramp. Correct techniques on ramp negotiation should be shown to you
by a qualified professional. Assistance is recommended when going up or
down inclines greater than 10°. If you must stop on an incline, avoid sudden,
abrupt movement when you resume movement. Due to the backward angle of
the chair, sudden abrupt movement could cause instability. Attempting to use
the wheel hand brakes could result in accidental locking, tipping to one side,
or cause a sudden stop. Avoid changing direction when going down an incline,
as this could result in instability that may cause tipping.
AIDAPT GENERAL TRANSPORT GUIDANCE
The design of your chair enables it to remain stable for normal everyday
usage if used correctly in accordance with the recommendations in this
manual.
Aidapt recommend transit chair users should transfer from their chair to a
vehicle seat and use a 3-point occupant restraint system for the seated
position. Aidapt also recognises that due to reason of pain or discomfort,
transfer may not be possible.
