II. SAFETY
DRIVING ON AN INCLINE
• Drive with caution when attempting to negotiate any incline, even handicap access
ramps.
• Try to keep your LiteRider PTC moving when climbing an incline. If you do come to a stop,
restart and accelerate slowly and carefully.
• Always climb or descend a gradient by driving straight up or straight down the face of the
slope.
• Do not traverse or drive across the face of a gradient.
• Do not attempt to negotiate an incline that is covered with snow, ice, cut or wet grass,
leaves, or any other potentially hazardous material.
• Do not back down an incline
• Do not try to descend or climb a slope whose gradient is greater than the recommended
maximum incline of 6 degrees.
IF, WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN A SLOPE, YOUR POWER
CHAIR STARTS TO MOVE FASTER THAN YOU FEEL IS SAFE, RELEASE THE
JOYSTICK LEVER AND ALLOW YOUR LITERIDER PTC TO COME TO A STOP. WHEN
YOU FEEL THAT YOU AGAIN HAVE CONTROL OF YOUR POWER CHAIR, PUSH THE
JOYSTICK LEVER FORWARD AND CONTINUE SAFELY DOWN THE REMAINDER OF
THE SLOPE.
MEDICATION
Always check with your physician to determine if any of the medications you are taking
may affect your judgment and/or your ability to operate your LiteRider PTC. Also check
with your physician concerning your physical ability to operate a power chair.
