5.2.5Safety information when ascending obstacles

CAUTION: Danger of Tipping Over!

•Never approach obstacles at an angle!

•Put your backrest into an upright position before climbing an obstacle!

CAUTION: The wheelchair can be damaged if an obstacle is approached at excessive speed.

•Always approach obstacles at low speed! As soon as the front wheels come into contact with the obstacle, stop for a short period before driving over the obstacle! Wheelchairs fitted with centre drive have a special mechanism (Walking Beam) for overcoming obstacles. Approaching at speed can actually lead to mechanical damage.

5.2.6Safety information when descending obstacles

CAUTION: The wheelchair can tip over to the front when descending from an obstacle that is too high as there can be spring deflection of the front swivel wheels.

•Please pay particular attention to tilt resistance when driving down off an obstacle!

•If available, please set your seat tilt to a greater value than normal!

•The maximum obstacle height refers to ascent as well as descent. Never descend from obstacles that are higher than those you may ascend!
