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.
