STEPS, CURBS & FIXED OBSTACLES

Use extreme caution when operating your power wheelchair near curbs, porches,

stairs, escalators, drop-offs, unprotected ledges, and raised areas.

WARNING – Never attempt to navigate your power wheelchair over a

fixed obstacle taller than the maximum ground clearance. Please refer to

Section XII SPECIFICATIONS for this information.

WARNING – Never attempt to navigate your power wheelchair backwards

over an obstacle.

WARNING – Never attempt to operate your power wheelchair on steps or

escalators.

ATTENTION – Refer to the following guidelines and diagrams when

travelling over a fixed obstacle lower than the maximum ground

clearance of your power wheelchair:

To maneuver up a fixed obstacle – Approach slowly, and make sure the front of the

power wheelchair is perpendicular to the obstacle. Increase the forward speed until

the power wheelchair has cleared the obstacle, and then you may reduce the speed or

return the joystick to neutral.

To maneuver down a fixed obstacle – Approach slowly, and make sure the front of the

power wheelchair is perpendicular to the obstacle. Reduce the forward speed just

before the front wheels come in contact with the obstacle, and remain at the reduced

speed until power wheelchair has cleared the obstacle, and then you may increase the

forward speed.
