: Height adjustment for the anti tipping castor wheels
(photo 31 and gure 32)
Lift up the spring button (A) and choose one of the 2 available
heights, 3 or 5 cm. Make sure that the anti-tipping system is locked
in its new position
Scalamobil: See the description in the Scalamobil guide
Always reposition the anti-tipping castor wheels after
dismantling Scalamobil (risk of falling or tipping).
Driving guidelines (gure 33):
• Always approach the obstacle or sidewalk slowly and straight on
(maximum of 3 to 4 cm).
• Increase the speed just before the castor wheels or the lifting
device comes in contact with the obstacle.
• Only reduce speed after the rear wheels have also surmounted the
obstacle.
Never approach obstacles at an angle. The chair risks tipping
and only pass over obstacles with the backrest in a vertical position.

NG can securely travel uphill on inclines lower
than 5° (gure 34). There is a risk of tipping when the inclines are
steeper. Follow the course of the incline; do not travel in a zigzag
pattern.
Only go uphill or downhill with the backrest in a vertical
position and the anti-tipping castor wheels correctly secured.
Go downhill at most at 2/3 maximum speed.
Do not go uphill or downhill where the ground is rough
or slippery or if there is a risk for skidding (dampness, gravel, ice,
grass etc.).
Increased risk of tipping when getting out of the chair on a
slope.
