WARNING
Operation - Inclines
Do not drive the wheelchair where the sideways gradient is more than indicated
in the technical specifications section of the manual. There is a risk of tipping over.
Do not drive up or down ramps that are not equipped with proper edge protection
along the sides of the ramp to prevent the wheelchair from falling off of the ramp.
When driving up an incline, be sure to drive your wheelchair straight up the
incline (perpendicular). Driving at an angle up an incline increases the risk of
tipping or falling. Use extreme caution when driving up an incline.
Do not drive down or up a hazardous incline, such as a surface covered with
snow, ice, or wet leaves or a surface that is uneven. Also avoid driving on ramps
that do not have proper edge protection.
