Keep in mind your center of gravity to maintain stability and balance. While the walking beam allows to traverse up to a 3 inch bump or threshold, stopping after the wheels cross the bump poses a problem. the wheelchair cannot reverse over the bump at this point. Continue forward and then turn around. While the wheelchair is designed for use primarily in and around the home, the provider should determine whether this wheelchair is suitable for the actual environment in which the wheelchair will be used. ƽ WARNING DO NOT attempt to drive over curbs or obstacles greater than 3 inches. Doing so may cause your wheelchair to turn over and cause bodily harm or damage to the wheelchair. Always stop before climbing an obstacle. Approach slowly until front casters are approximately 18 inches away from the obstacle. Slowly apply power to move forward, over the obstacle. CAUTION Be aware of the condition of the ramp. Traction will be diminished/nonexistent on a slippery surface. Proceed with caution.  For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 1. Do not go down a ramp at full speed.
