● Do not abruptly turn on a downhill slope.
In addition, do not traverse horizontally or
diagonally across a steep slope. You could
easily lose balance and tip over.
● On a downhill slope, start the braking op-
1
eration early. The braking distance on a
downhill slope may be significantly longer
than when traveling on level ground.
● In the areas where the wheelchair leans
sharply to the left or right, the wheelchair
may tip over sideway. Have an assistant
accompany you.
● When descending down a slope with the
assistant operations, descend in reverse.
If the assistant moves the wheelchair for-
ward when descending, the passenger may
plunge forward and fall off the wheelchair.
1.5.8. Going Up/Down Curbs
The wheelchairs equipped with E-Drive PLUS are built to be lighter compared to
other electric wheelchairs that use a heavier general lead battery. For this reason,
when a person sits in it, the overall center of gravity may be different. Therefore,
use caution when traveling on a curb.
● When traveling in power drive mode, the wheelchair can clear level differenc-
es of approximately 1 inch (25 mm) (varies depending on the caster size). Any
greater level differences should be cleared by an assistant by manual push op-
eration.
● When going up/down a curb for the first time, have an assistant accompany you
instead of traveling alone.
