2.10 Moving on slopes

L WARNING: Control your speed – Moving on slopes as slow as possible.

L WARNING: Consider the capacities of your attendant – If your attendant does not

have enough force to control the wheelchair, put on the brakes.

L WARNING: Risk of tipping over – Lean forward to move your centre of gravity

forward. To improve a better stability.

1. If available on the wheelchair, wear the safety belt.

2. Do not attempt moving on too high slopes. The maximum

slope angles (upwards and downwards) are mentioned in

table 1 for Eclips+, table 2 for Eclips+ 30°.

2.11 Negotiating steps or kerbs

2.11.1 Getting down steps or kerbs

Riding down low kerbs can be done moving forwards. Make sure that the foot rests do not

touch the ground.

A practiced user can negotiate small steps or kerbs by himself:

L WARNING: Risk of tipping over – If you do not have

enough experience with your wheelchair, ask

assistance of an attendant.

1. Bring balance on the rear wheels to reduce the pressure on

the front wheels.

2. Negotiate the kerbs.

Higher kerbs can be taken forward with an attendant:

1. Ask the attendant to tip the wheelchair slightly backwards.

2. Get past the kerbs while moving on the rear wheels.

3. Put the wheelchair back on the four wheels.

An experienced user can negotiate higher kerbs by himself. This is

best done backwards.

1. Turn the wheelchair to have the rear wheels facing the

kerb.

2. Lean forward to move your centre of gravity forward.

3. Move the wheelchair close to the kerbs.

4. Use the hand rim to roll-off wheelchair from the kerb in a

controlled manner.

2.11.2 Moving up steps or kerbs

Moving up steps or kerbs with attendant as follows:

1. Prevent the foot rests from touching the kerb.

2. Ask the attendant to tip the wheelchair backwards, just

enough to move the front wheels over the kerb.

3. Lean backwards to move your centre of gravity above the rear

wheel.

4. Place the front wheels on the kerb.

5. Roll rear wheels of the wheelchair over the kerb.
