Ramps
The stability of your Powerchair is governed by several factors such as the seating
position, the angle of the slope and your height and weight. When approaching an
incline, do so directly and not at an angle and where ever possible avoid making
turns. When going down a ramp or slope keep the speed settings to slow. This will
ensure there is a safe controlled descent. When the thumb levers are released the
Powerchair will slowly stop.
Safe Climbing Angle
Always follow the guidelines of the safe climbing angle as shown in figure 8.
Caution - Do not turn off the main switch key while the unit is in motion
Grass and Gravel
Please follow the guidelines given previously and your Powerchair will perform
admirably over many surfaces. Avoid long grass, loose gravel and sand.
NOTE: You should not operate your Powerchair in wet weather or on wet
surfaces. This may cause the motor to short out or cause other irreversible
damage.
NOTE: To preserve battery charge, your Powerchair may go into sleep mode
after being idle for a few minutes. To remove from sleep mode, turn the key off
and back on again.
