Safe Driving
1.
Never drive at a speed greater than your ability to safely control your chair.
Remember that wet or loose surfaces need greater care and control.
2.
Always turn the chair off when transferring or while the chair is stationary for
long periods.
3.
Avoid jerky stop / start motions as this will result in excessive current draw
from the batteries, increased tyre wear and the rapid wearing of the
gearbox and motors.
4.
Keep your chair clean from sand and salt water.
5.
Ensure that the tyres are correctly inflated.
Indoor / Outdoor Driving
When driving indoors keep the level of speed to a minimum to avoid the risk of
collision.
For outdoor driving be wary of wet surfaces, loose sand, large kerbs and potholes.
A little practice will ensure you understand the capabilities of your chair and enable
you to overcome the most common obstacles en-counted when driving.
If operating your chair on the roads please check with your local Police
Department regarding necessary identification and safety devices such as
reflectors.
Chair Operation on surfaces that require Special Care
When driving up or down ramps it is recommended that the user:
1.
Visually checks to see if the angle of the slope is less than 15 degrees.
2.
Checks to see that the ramp surface is roughened to prevent slippage.
3.
Ensures that the ramp surface is correctly in line with the tyres and is wide
enough to allow the tyres to pass freely along the ramp.
If the ramp meets these conditions, it is recommended that the user drives the
wheelchair slowly up or down the ramp, ensuring that the chair is driven in the
centre of the ramp tracks. If possible, have an assistant monitor the chairs’
progress, and prevent tipping of the chair by holding the push handles at the back
of the seat.
If the ramp does not meet these conditions, it is recommended that
alternative methods for climbing and descending be found.
