Prolonged exposure to hot or cold conditions may affect the temperature of upholstered and non-upholstered items on the power chair, possibly resulting in skin irritation. Exercise caution when using your power chair in extremely hot or cold conditions or when exposing your power chair to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time. Stationary Obstacles (Steps, Curbs, etc.) Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges, and/or drop-offs (curbs, porches, stairs, etc.). Be sure your power chair is traveling perpendicular to any curb you are required to navigate. See figure 2. To navigate up over a curb or stationary obstacle: 1. Approach the curb or obstacle slowly, and make sure the power chair is traveling perpendicular to the obstacle. See figure 2. 2. Increase the forward speed just before the front wheels come in contact with the obstacle. 3. Reduce the forward speed only after the rear wheels have cleared the obstacle. To navigate down a curb or stationary obstacle: 1. Approach the curb or obstacle slowly, and make sure the power chair is traveling perpendicular to the obstacle. See figure 2. 2. Reduce the forward speed just before the front wheels come in contact with the obstacle. 3.
