Driving Your Shoprider Powerchair
Ramps, Slopes and Cambers
The indoor/outdoor Powerchair has the ability to negotiate ramps,
slopes and cambers of a low to medium gradient. It is of the utmost
importance that the following points are observed:
1.
Never
attempt to go up or down an incline which has a rough,
wet or slippery surface (loose gravel, tree roots, wet grass,
polished floor, etc.)
2.
Always
approach an incline head on, not at an angle
3.
Always
travel at a speed that you are comfortable with and that
you feel in complete control
4.
Avoid
sudden or erratic action with the joystick
5.
Always
have the reclining seat in the most upright position
when driving up an incline
6. When riding along in a straight line you may experience
“veering to one side”. This is due to the natural camber in the
construction of the pavement. To correct this you simply have
to steer slightly against it, as you continue to move forward
