VI. GENERAL WARNINGS
!
Fig. 1
T. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FALL,
TIP-OVER OR LOSS OF CONTROL:
1. Never use your chair on a slope unless
you are sure you can do so without
losing traction.
2. Always go as straight up and as straight
down as you can.
Do not “cut the corner”on a slope
or ramp.
Do not turn or change direction
on a slope.
3. Always stay in the center of the ramp. Make
sure ramp is wide enough that you are not
at risk that a wheel may roll off the side.
4. Lean or press your body uphill.This will
help adjust for a change in the center of
balance caused by the slope. (Fig. 1)
5. Keep your chair moving at a slow,
steady speed. Keep control over the
chair at all times.
On a descent, do not let your chair
accelerate beyond its normal speed.
If the chair picks up speed, center the
joystick to slow down or stop.
Note: The solid state controller of your chair
has a logic system that will help control your
speed when driving on a slope or up hill.
If you stop, re-start slowly.
6. Never use rear wheel locks to try to
slow or stop your chair.This is likely to
cause the chair to veer out of control.
