RIDING YOUR ALANTE´™

Control through tight spots

As you use your Alante´™ to increase your mobility, you will undoubtedly encounter some obstacles that will require practice to negotiate smoothly and safely. Below are some common obstacles that you may meet during the daily use of your power chair. Listed with those obstacles are some driving tips that should help you conquer those obstacles. Learn and follow those tips, and with surprising ease you will soon be in control of your power chair as you maneuver it through doors, up and down ramps, up and over curbs, through grass and gravel, and up and down inclines.

Doors

•Approach any unfamiliar door slowly.

•Notice if the door has a knob or a push bar.

•Determine if the door opens towards you or away from you.

•Do not try to use your own strength to open the door. Learn to use the power of your power chair to do the majority of the work for you.

If the door opens away from you:

1.Use one hand to turn the doorknob or to operate the push bar.

2.Use your other hand to steer the power chair and to gently press on the joystick that will move your power chair slowly forward.

3.Use your arm to push the door gently open.

4.Drive through the doorway.

5.If it is a self-closing door, it will close behind you.

6.If it is not a self-closing door, stop your power chair when it is clear of the door and use your hand to push the door closed.

If the door opens towards you:

1.Use one hand to turn the doorknob or to pull the handle.

2.Keep your grip on the knob or on the handle.

3.Use your other hand to steer your power chair and to gently press the joystic that will move your power chair slowly in reverse.

4.Allow the power of your Alante´ to pull the door completely open.

5.When the door is completely open, stop your power chair.

6.Drive through the doorway while keeping your hand on the door to prevent it from hitting or blocking your power chair.

7.If it is a self-closing door, it will close behind you.

8.If it is not a self-closing door, pull it closed behind you.
