8 Use of the wheelchair Ibis PowerDrive
Slopes
When all of the adjustment options are set
to the standard position, it can be assumed that
aslopeof≤10°(17.6%)belongstoanormal
user environment with no danger of instability.
Inthetechnicalspecications,youwillndthis
under„maximumsafeslope‟.
Slopes steeper than the normal user
environment
Driving on slopes with a gradient greater than
the maximum safety limit may lead to safety
risks with respect to stability. This requires
great care and complete control on the part of
the user. Always drive carefully and never take
unnecessary risks! Follow the instructions given
by the warnings!
The stability and performance of a wheelchair
depend on a number of variables. Wheelchairs
are adapted to the needs of individual users.
Thisiswhyvariableswilldi󰀨erfromwheelchair
to wheelchair. You should therefore ask your
dealer to inform you about how to use the
wheelchairandwhetherthespecicsettings
and adjustments for your own situation can

wheelchair.
Warning!
When driving on a slope, always drive
carefully and with the utmost concentration.
Avoid sudden, jerky movements.
Avoid making emergency stops on a slope.
Avoid changing direction on a slope
whenever possible.
Do not turn on a slope.
Only drive up a slope with all the adjustment
options set to the neutral position.
Never drive in reverse on a slope.
Do not drive on slopes with loose gravel or a
sandy surface, as one of the driving wheels
could slip/spin.
Do not drive on slopes for extended periods
of time in order to prevent the motor from
overheating.
When driving down a slope forwards in an
FWD wheelchair, use an anti-tip mechanism.
Ifyounoticeasignicantdecreaseinspeed
when driving up a slope, take a route which
is less steep.
Prevent the wheelchair from gaining too
much speed when driving downhill.
Curves
Note!
Never take curves at full speed. Decrease
speed before taking a curve.
Keep the throttle handle engaged at the
desired speed and slightly pull the push handle
backwards from the direction where you want
to go, e.g. when turning left pull the left push
handle slightly backwards.
