1, Lifting the castors
• If you need to lift the castors when the motors
are on, you must not touch the handrims. Hold
the tyres instead.
• It is best to switch off the power and then hold
the handrims as usual.

2. Going up steps
• One way of getting up low steps is to go backwards.

3. Upward and downward slopes
• Ensure that the chair does not tip over when
you go uphill.
• The chair will keep to a constant speed on
downward slopes. Select a speed which allows
you to stop easily.
• Do not have the power switched off on downward
slopes. This may cause the wheelchair’s speed
to increase to such an extent that you will find
it difficult to stop.
