Going down slopes
When going down slopes, it is important to control your
direction and particularly your speed.
1. Lean back and carefully allow the handrims to run
through your hands. You should be able to stop the
wheelchair at any time by gripping the handrims.
CAUTION!
Risk of burning your hands.
If you brake for a long time, a lot of frictional
heat is produced at the handrims (especially
MaxGrepp and Supergripp).
– Wear suitable gloves.
