Slopes
The electric wheelchair is intended for use on a hard, level surface. It is more difficult to
keep a course on roads slightly banking. The slope should certainly not be too strong
to prevent tilting, not more than 3° (Figure 60).
CAUTION
• The bank angle must not exceed 3°. If the bank angle is bigger there is a risk of
tipping over with the electric wheelchair.
• Be very careful when driving down a slope.
• Use of the Rollz Motion Electric on escalators is prohibited.
Transfers (getting in or out of the wheelchair)
Practice getting in and out of the wheelchair with your practitioner (physiotherapist or
occupational therapist) if possible.
When getting in and out of the electric wheelchair, use the armrests as a support point
and not the joystick. The following points must be followed to avoid possible damage:
• Drive the Rollz Motion Electric as close as possible to the place where the transfer
will take place.
• Make sure that the Rollz Motion Electric is switched off when you get in or out.
• Do not use the footrest to stand up when getting in or out.
• Apply the parking brake before getting in or out.
• Make sure that your feet do not get caught behind the footrest
or frame parts.
Seating position
To prevent tipping over while driving, you must observe a number of points that can
affect the stability and balance of the Rollz Motion Electric. The following points affect
the projection of the centre of gravity:
• Height and angle of the seat.
• The sitting position of the user.
• Sloping surface.
• The height and weight of the user.
