Q500 M/F/R Rev.B
ENGLISH
5.6 Driving on a slope
Your wheelchair has been designed and tested to allow its use
on slopes or gradients of up to:
Q500 M: 8° (14%) in standard conguraon.
Q500 F: 8° (14%) in standard conguraon.
Q500 R: 10° (17.6%) in standard conguraon.
However, you have the opon of adjusng your posion with
the seat elevator, lt in space, powered recline or powered
centre mount leg rest or a combinaon of these opons.
DANGER!
• Elevang, lng and leg rest adjustments can aect the
wheelchair centre of gravity. Under certain condions this
might cause instability that could lead to unintenonal
pping. It may be necessary to carry out a risk assessment if
the wheelchair is adjusted to extremes.
• Stopping distances on slopes can be signicantly longer
than on level ground.
DANGER!
• In certain circumstances your wheelchair could become
unstable.
• Before aempng to climb or descend a slope or a kerb,
cauon should be taken when using weight shi opons
(e.g. powered , recline or standing), of the seat and/or your
body for a counter balance weight.
• To improve stability lean forward when driving uphill, with
the seat and back in an upright posion.
• Alternavely sit in an upright posion when travelling in
a forward, downhill direcon or and/or recline the seat
backwards.
• We strongly recommend that you return the seat and
back to their home posions before aempng to climb
or descend a slope. Failure to do this may cause the
wheelchair to become unstable.
• If you are in any doubt about the capabilies of your
wheelchair on a slope then do not aempt to drive up or
down the slope/kerb; try to nd an alternave route.
Gradients: ascents:
WARNING!
• When going uphill, keep the chair moving.
• Steer by carefully moving the joysck forwards making slight
Le and Right adjustments as you go.
• If you have stopped on a hill, you should start slowly.
• If necessary lean forward.
Gradients: descents:
On descents, it is important not to let the wheelchair accelerate
beyond its normal level of ground speed.
DANGER!
• Proceed slowly down steep descents, (below the speed of
5kph) and stop if you fell anxious.
• If the chair picks up speed, centre the joysck to its home
posion to allow it to slow, or to stop.
• Restart slowly and do not allow the speed to increase above
what you are comfortable with.
NOTE:
• The controller has the benet of a logic system that will help
compensate when driving along a camber or up a hill. This
is an added safety feature on your wheelchair. In addion of
course, you may control the wheelchair speed by using the
speed control.
