14.10 Obstacle climbing
Do not drive the wheelchair over
obstacles of a height bigger than 50mm.
driving over tall edges increases the
risk of tipping over as well as the risk of
damage to the wheelchair. Always be
aware when climbing obstacles of the
stability of your wheelchair.
Driving down of a higher surface (like
pavement), always be aware of the
sudden forward movement of your
wheelchair when driving down of it. If
your wheelchair has powered seat tilt,
you can use the seat tilt for more
stability whilst driving of the pavement.
When driving over obstacles with uneven or slippery surface (for example grass,
gravel, sand, ice or snow) you should drive with extra care and attention.
Never drive on obstacles higher than 50mm. Always drive with maximum
attention and great care.
