NEGOTIATING GRADIENTS/SLOPES
• Never attempt to climb or descend an incline where the surface is
rough, wet or slippery (gravel, loose chippings, grass, rain, black
ice, snow etc.).
If you are in a situation where by the Powerchair fails to climb a
•
ramp and stalls midway through the manoeuvre, DO NOT
attempt to turn the Powerchair to drive back down in a forward
facing direction, always reverse slowly in a steady, flowing action
and DO NOT brake harshly, as this will upset balance in this
situation. If possible, always seek the assistance of an attendant.
NEGOTIATING KERBS
• When approaching kerbs wherever possible
mount and dismount pavements via ramps.
Always approach the kerb head on, not at an
angle.
