11.7 Reaching or leaning out
Warning:
Reaching out or leaning forward affects the wheelchair’s centre of gravity. Failure to observe
these warnings may cause you to fall or tip over and lead to serious injury.
Avoid reaching out or leaning forward if this would require you to change your centre of gravity.
If you lean forward, the wheelchair may tip over. Always keep the lower section of your back in
contact with the back support. Ask for help or use a device to increase your reach.
Never reach out with both hands. If you do, you may no longer be able to catch yourself if the
wheelchair tips forward.
Never lean back to reach for an item unless your wheelchair has an anti-tipper.
11.8 Hills and slopes
Warning:
When you drive up or down a slope, or cross a slope, your wheelchair’s centre of gravity changes.
Failure to observe these warnings may lead to serious injury as a result of the wheelchair tipping
over or you losing control of it:
Avoid turning on a slope or crossing one sideways as this may cause the wheelchair to tip over.
If possible, always drive straight up or down a slope.
Always be extremely careful when driving up or down a slope of more than 10 % (1 in 10) (see
Figure 41). Ask for help if you become overwhelmed when driving on a slope. An anti-tipper
cannot prevent you from tipping backward on a steep slope. You may not be able to reach the
top of a steep slope without stopping in between. If you need to stop, you need to do so with
the wheelchair at a right angle to the slope, otherwise you may lose control and tip backward.
Normally, driving backward on a steep slope is the better option, as you can use more strength.
You should try to find out if this applies to you.
Always keep your speed under control when driving down a hill. If you drive too fast, you may
lose control of your wheelchair. Ask for help if you are unable to drive up or down the hill your-
self. You can control your speed by constantly putting pressure on the tyres. However, wear
gloves or other protection, as the friction of the tyres may burn your hands. Never use the wheel
locks to slow down or stop. If you do, you may lose control of the wheelchair or it may tip over.
