5.3 Driving up and down gradients
The Invacare® Typhoon has a maximum hill-climbing ability without overturning of 20%.
WARNING: Danger of tipping over!
• Only ever drive downhill at a maximum of 2/3 of the top speed!
• Avoid sudden changes of direction or abrupt braking when driving on slopes!
• Always return the backrest of your seat or the seat tilt to an upright position before ascending
slopes! We recommend that you position the seat backrest or the seat tilt slightly to the rear
before descending slopes!
• If the lifter is raised drive mode is only used for positioning and not for regular drive operation!
Lower the lifter before ascending a slope!
• Never attempt to ascend or descend a slope on slippery surfaces or where there is a danger
of skidding (such as wet pavement, ice etc)!
• Avoid trying to get out of the vehicle on an incline or a gradient!
• Always drive straight in the direction the road or path you are on goes, rather than attempting
to zigzag!
• Never attempt to turn around on an incline or a slope!
5.4 Parking and stationary
When parking your vehicle or if your vehicle is stationary for a prolonged period:
• Switch the vehicle's power system off (ON-/OFF key).
• Activate your anti-theft lock, if existing.
