manual abstract
Surface of the ramp: Is it too slippery? 2. Degree of incline: Is it too steep to attempt alone? 3. Length of ramp: Is it too long for your endurance? 4. Obstacles: Are there any obstacles on the ramp that would necessitate an attendant's assistance? ASSISTANCE IS ALWAYS RECOMMENDED WHEN GOING UP OR DOWN STEEP INCLINES. In order to prevent loss of steering control, or the possibility of tipping over backwards, an attendant is recommended when going up inclines greater than 6°. If it becomes necessary to stop when going up an incline, special care must be taken to avoid abrupt or sudden forward movement when you resume operating the chair to avoid tipping the chair backwards. Always keep the chair under control when going down a ramp or incline. Speed should be controlled at all times. When operating your Cirrus Plus Wheelchair and an obstacle is being approached, care should be taken to prevent the chair from becoming unstable. 2 UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY UNPACKING After removing your Cirrus Plus Wheelchair from the carton please check that you have been supplied with the following main parts as standard specification. 1.
