RAMPS AND INCLINES

WARNING: During descent, the footplates' lowest point should be no closer to the ground than 2-1/2 inches to permit proper clearance.

WARNING: Do not attempt inclines without anti-tippers installed in the downward position. Do not attempt any incline or decline of more than 6 degrees (10% grade, or one foot of rise or fall per ten feet of ramp length).

WARNING: Do not use wheel locks to slow your descent. At- tempting to use wheel locks is likely to result in accidental locking that could cause the wheelchair to stop abruptly, sud- denly pitch forward, or tip sideways.

WARNING: Avoid changing direction while descending a ramp or incline, as this could cause instability.

Most people are capable of negotiating short inclines without assistance, depending upon upper body strength, endurance, and the degree of incline. Know your own capabilities and limitations in terms of strength and endurance before attempting to negotiate an incline or decline. Practice with an attendant or healthcare professional first before attempt- ing any inclines, declines curbs or ramps. Always inspect the ramp for hazards such as holes, slippery or uneven surfaces, etc. before starting up or down. If you can not see the entire ramp, ask someone to inspect it for you.

Ascent

Lean the upper part of your body slightly forward as you ascend the incline. If it becomes necessary to stop on the incline, avoid any abrupt or sudden forward movement as you resume climbing, this could cause tipping.

Descent

Always face forward when going down a ramp, but do not lean forward; this could cause tipping. Lean slightly backward to increase stability. It is critical to keep the wheelchair under control at all times. Descent should be made slowly and safely by grasping the handrims; however, use care, as friction heat will be generated. We recommend the use of gloves to reduce the effects of friction heat, but going slower is a better alternative.
