Reverse Driving; Free Wheel - Handicare Hippo Bedienungsanleitung

When driving down a slope steeper than 8º, the maximum speed will be reduced. This
way, the wheelchair will remain stable if suddenly braked.
Warning!
Never drive up or down a slope diagonally. This may cause the
wheelchair to topple over.
Warning!
Never unlock the motor on a slope: if your wheelchair is in neutral, the
automatic parking brake will not function. You may start moving down
the slope inadvertently!
Warning!
Manoeuvring on slopes, whether forward or in reverse, may result in
dangerous situations. Slow down.

You can reverse your wheelchair by pulling the joystick towards you. The maximum
speed in reverse is 5 km/hr.
Warning!
When driving in reverse, the wheelchair will move into the opposite
direction of the joystick!
Warning!
Your wheelchair will not be as powerful driving in reverse as it is when
you are driving forward. Keep this in mind when reversing up a slope

To be able to push the wheelchair, the parking brake must be switched off.
This is done by moving the handle on the left-hand side and on the right-hand side of
the wheelchair into the direction of the arrow, see Figure 19 . Make sure both handles
are in the neutral position.
When pushing the wheelchair, place one hand on the arm rest and the other against
the back rest of the wheelchair.
