Do not hesitate to ask for help to avoid unnecessary risks.
When driving up the slope lean forwards to transfer the center of gravity to the front making the wheelchair more
stable.
When riding down the slope lean backwards to transfer the center of gravity to the back making the wheelchair more
stable
Control the speed by using the rear wheels' hand-rims, not by using the brakes.
