4.20 Use on a slope
Your wheelchair has been designed and tested to allow its use
on slopes or gradients of up to 10° (18%) in RWD/ MWD
configuration and (11%) in FWD conFiguration. However,
you have the option of adjusting your seating position with
either a lift, tilt or recline or a combination of these options.
WARNING!
In certain circumstances your wheelchair could become unstable.
Before attempting to climb or descend a slope or a kerb, caution
should be taken when using weight shift options (e.g. powered
tilt or recline), of the seat and/or your body for a counter balance
weight.
To improve stability lean forward when driving uphill, with the
seat and back in an upright position.
Alternatively sit in an upright position when travelling in
a forward, downhill direction or tilt and/or recline the seat
backwards.
When driving downhill with a FWD chair reduce your speed
below 5kph. This prevents the chair from going onto the front
anti-tip wheels when decelerating.
WARNING!
We strongly recommend that you return the seat and back to an
upright lowered position before attempting to climb or descend
a slope. Failure to do this may cause the wheelchair to become
unstable.
WARNING!
If you are in any doubt about the capabilities of your wheelchair
on a slope then do not attempt to drive up or down the slope/
kerb; try to find an alternative route.
4.21 Gradients: ascents
WARNING!
When going uphill, keep the chair moving.
Steer by carefully moving the joystick forwards making
slight Left and Right adjustments as you go.
If you have stopped on a hill, you should start slowly.
On a RWD chair, if necessary lean forward to prevent the
tendency for the front wheels to lift.
4.22 Gradients: descents
On descents, it is important not to let the wheelchair accelerate
beyond its normal level of ground speed.
WARNING!
Proceed slowly down steep descents, (below the speed of 5kph)
and stop if any anxiety arises regarding directional control.
If the chair picks up speed, centre the joystick to slow it or to
stop all forward movement, then restart slowly and do not allow
the speed to increase.
NOTE: The solid state controller has the benefit of a logic
system that will help compensate when driving along a camber
or up a hill. This is an added safety feature on your wheelchair.
In addition of course, you may control the wheelchair speed by
using the speed control.
4.23 Using a vehicle mounted passenger lift
Wheelchair lifts are used in vans, buses and buildings to help
you move from one level to another.
DANGER!
Ensure that the user and all carers fully understand the lift
manufacturers instructions for using the passenger lift.
Never exceed the lift manufacturers recommended safe
working load and load distribution guidance.
Always turn off all power when you are on the lift. If you
fail to do so, you may touch the joystick by accident and
cause your chair to drive off the platform. Be aware that a
rollstop at the end of the platform may not prevent this.
Always position the user securely in the chair to help avoid
falls while on the lift.
Always ensure the chair is in drive mode when using
passenger lift (wheels locked not in freewheel mode).
4.24 Creep mode
WARNING!
Please ensure your backrest recline angle relative to floor level,
(which is a combination of the back recline itself and the tilt
angle), does not exceed 12° to drive the chair safely.
NOTE: If your backrest to level floor angle exceeds this limit
the chair will automatically convert into “creep mode” which
will allow you a maximum of 10% of the speed programmed
in the profile.
NOTE: If your wheelchair is fitted with a Lift/Tilt module, you
will go into ‘Creep Mode’ as soon as the seat is lifted.
NOTE: If your leg rest and recline actuators are used
simultaneously, then you will go into ‘Creep Mode’ .
WARNING!
If you have Recaro seating or a manual recline backrest on
your wheelchair, please be aware that there will be no feedback
system to the controller that tells it that the seat is in a reclined
position. If you recline your backrest and attempt to drive, it will
not go into ‘creep mode’, it will instead drive at full speed.
DANGER!
This is especially dangerous when attempting to drive up a
slope.
