4.2 Taking Obstacles
Your Invacare® Meteor can climb obstacles and kerbstones up to 11 cm in height.
CAUTION: Danger of Tipping Over!
• Never approach obstacles at an angle but at 90 degrees as shown below.
• Put your backrest into an upright position before climbing an obstacle.
Driving up over an obstacle
• Approach the kerb or obstacle slowly head-on. Shortly
before the front wheels touch the obstacle, increase the
speed and reduce only after the rear wheels have also
climbed the obstacle.
Driving down off of an obstacle
• Approach the kerb or obstacle slowly head-on. Before the
front wheels touch the obstacle, reduce speed and keep it
until also the rear wheels have come down off of the
obstacle.
