Slopes - Rollz Motion 2 Manuel D'utilisation

WARNING
If the pusher suddenly moves forward with the transport chair from a curb or ledge
that is higher than about 3 cm, the person in the transport chair can be launched
forward and even fall out. This can also happen if the pusher hits a ridge hard.
Therefore, prevent yourself from driving or crashing into an obstruction.
Also avoid holes in the pavement or potholes in the road surface. One of the front
wheels can end up abruptly in a hole that causes the wheelchair to unexpectedly
tip over. The disproportionate amount of force on one of the front wheels might
also damage the suspension. So be careful and choose a safe route.

Slopes

The transport chair is intended for use on a hard, level surface. It is more difficult
to keep a course on roads slightly sloping sideways. The slope should certainly
not be too strong to prevent tilting (Figure 52).
CAUTION
• The sideways slope angle
must not exceed 15°. If
the lateral angle is bigger
there is a risk of tipping
over with the transport
chair.
• If you walk up a slope,
pushing can be tough. If
the pusher wants to pau-
se, put the transport chair
on the parking brake.
• Be very careful when
walking down a slope. The
pusher must brake gently
to prevent it from going
too fast.
• Be sure not to drive on too
steep slopes.
Figure 52: The maximum lateral slope angle is 15°.
