Ramps and Inclines
⚠
Warning
When your chair is on a ramp or incline the centre of balance of your chair will change.
Your chair is less stable when on ramps or inclines and should not be used unless you
feel it is safe to do so. If in doubt have someone with you.
Do not use the chair on a slope of greater than 15 degrees.
When ascending a
ramp
: (going up)

Make sure power tilt seat is in the down or flat position and the backrest is in
the upright position.
•
Never attempt climbing ramps with high degree of seat tilt.
•
Approach the ramp or incline straight on. Do not approach on an angle (cut the
corner)
•
Make sure that you are in the centre of the ramp and that the ramp is wide
enough for your wheelchair
•
Do not use ramp if you feel that a wheel may drop off the side.
•
Do not veer or turn while on ramp. This may cause chair to tip and a fall may
result.
