Caution:
The first exercises must be done in the presence of an attendant, and at reduced speed until the user is confident with the electric
wheelchair. For the learning of the crossing of barriers the presence of an attendant having the capacity to retain the wheelchair in
case of tipping, is mandatory (chair 172 Kg + weight of the user)!
To overcome obstacles of more than 5 cm in height, the adjustment of the angle of tilt angle of the seat must be less than 10 degrees
and the angle of the backrest 100 degrees relative to the base plate.
Up and Down slopes more than 17% and to overcome obstacles of a greater heights than 12 cm, the presence of attendant with the
physical ability to retain the wheelchair in case of tipping is mandatory (chair 172 kg + weight of the user) !
The lowering obstacles must be at reduced speed, with the seat in the low position. Never go down an obstacle forward, with the
seat tilted forward!
Overcome obstacles:
The obstacles more than 5 cm can be passed through or over at reduced speed without stopping.
To cross an obstacle more than 5 cm high:
1. Make sure the footrest is high enough, otherwise raise the seat so that the footrest clears the obstacle.
2. Position the wheelchair perpendicular to the obstacle at 90 degrees and touch the obstacle with both front wheels.
