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.
