warnIng!
•
Keep hands clear of the adjustment mechanism
between the frame and moving parts of the footrest
during adjustment.
•
Leg rests must not be used for lifting or carrying the
wheelchair under any circumstances.
6.11 slopes (fig.6.8):
The following instructions explain how to manoeuvre
correctly on steep ramps and slopes, especially in the
course of descent.
warnIng!
•
If your chair has a powered seat tilt, powered recline
or manual recline back, we strongly recommend that
you bring the backrest into an upright position and set
the seat tilt to the level position.
•
If you stop on an incline, start off slowly and, if
necessary, lean forward to counteract the tendency of
the front wheels to rise.
•
On descents it is important not to allow the wheelchair
to exceed normal speed. Indeed, the safest course is
to go down steep hills slowly and to stop immediately
if you have any doubts about the steering.
•
If the chair gathers speed, move the joystick to its
central position to slow down, or stop completely.
•
Start off again slowly and do not allow speed to
increase. Make sure the automatic brakes are
engaged.
•
Climbing or descending a slope with the automatic
brakes disengaged can be dangerous.

6.12 transfers (fig.6.9):
Always position the wheelchair close to the place where
the transfer will be carried out. It is important
that the controller is turned OFF, so that the wheelchair
will not move throughout the procedure.
The wheelchair is highly stable owing to its weight. Do not
stand up on the footrests at any time during the transfer.
