Driving downhill
You should always drive downhill at low speed and with great caution.
Avoid braking suddenly and sudden evasive maneuvers and never drive so fast that you are unable to control the
wheelchair safely without risks.
You should be extremely careful when driving downhill on an uneven surface (for example grass, gravel,
sand, ice and snow).
L
WARNING!
Do not drive downhill on a gradient greater than 10°. Dynamic stability according to ISO 7176-2 = 6°.
A raised seat lift/seat angle/back angle changes the center of gravity and increases the risk of tipping. Therefore,
use these seat functions only on flat surfaces and always drive with great caution and at low speed.
