 Attention
When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the of the
incline.
Always drive your power wheelchair straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the
possibility of a tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an
incline.
Never travel up or down an incline that is or covered by snow or ice.
■ Inclines and uneven terrain
When climbing an incline, try to keep your power wheelchair moving. If you must stop, start up again
slowly and then accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so slowly and in the forward
direction only. If your power wheelchair starts to move faster than you anticipated or desired it would,
allow the wheelchair to come to a complete stop by releasing the joystick. Push the joystick slightly
forward and continue traveling slowly down the incline.
■ Maximum recommended incline
The Sunfire Plus EC Power Wheelchair has undergone extensive incline testing. Our results show that
the maximum incline your Sunfire Plus EC can safely climb is eight degrees at maximum weight
capacity. Five degrees is the angle of most handicap access ramps. Any attempt to climb a steeper
slope may put your Sunfire Plus EC into an unstable position.
