WARNING!
Danger due to an uncontrolled movement! Going through sloping surfaces, the
wheelchair could tip backwards, sideways or forwards.
Go through long sloping surfaces essentially with a helper behind the wheelchair.
Avoid leaning sideways. Avoid surfaces with a gradient bigger than 7°.
Avoid abruptly changing direction on a sloping surface.
CAUTION!
The wheelchair could involuntarily move even on slightly sloping surfaces, if not
controlled using the handrims.
Apply the parking brakes if on a sloping surface with the wheelchair.
