Changes of level
Never attempt to climb onto raised objects or kerbs higher than
7 cm. Always approach changes of level head on, with the front
and back wheels moving in a straight line. (See below.) This
reduces the possibility of tipping.
Note!
If your MC 1144 vehicle is fitted with a docking system from
Dahl Engineering, note that the clearance is reduced from 9 cm
to 7.5 cm.

Driving on hills
When driving on hills, you should try to keep the wheelchair
moving all the time. If you have to stop, start up again slowly.
When driving downhill, you must drive at the slowest speed.
If the MC 1144 starts moving faster than you want, stop it by
completely releasing the joystick. Carefully push the joystick
forwards again and carry on with care until you reach the bot-
tom of the hill.
Be aware that the stopping distance can be significantly longer,
down hill, than on level ground.
Avoid many starts / stops when driving on steep hills. It can
overheat the MC 1144.
