Going Up Or Down Curbs
To go up a curb, move the wheelchair in a forwards motion, lean your weight forward
in the chair and lift the castors at the front to go up the curb. You can also go up a curb
with an attendant to help - this can be done in 2 ways:
1. Your attendant should place the wheelchair in a forward motion for going up a curb
or threshold. By pressing down on the handles, the castors at the front wheel will
come o the ground. Simultaneously, your attendant should put their foot on the
stepper. This will create a leverage eect so the wheelchair can be pushed up a curb
or threshold.
2. Your attendant should reverse the wheelchair when going up a curb or threshold.
By sitting as far back as possible in the wheelchair and slightly tilting the wheelchair
backwards, your attendant can pull the chair up a curb or threshold. Your attendant
should not lower the wheelchair until the castors are on the curb or threshold.
To go down a curb we recommend this is always done with the help of an attendant.
This should always be done in a backwards motion - your attendant should push your
wheelchair to the edge of the curb or threshold. Now the user has to sit back and the
attendant has to tilt the wheelchair backwards. When the wheelchair is balanced your
attendant can slowly push the wheelchair down a curb or threshold. The wheelchair
should only be pushed further if the castors touch the ground again.
Going Up And Down Inclines
This depends on your physical capabilities and the degree of the incline. When going up
an incline bend your upper body forwards, when going down lean your body back
slightly. If it is necessary you should stop during going up or down the incline, do not
make sudden movements that can cause you to fall over.
5. USER INSTRUCTIONS
Warning
Always be careful when going up and down inclines. An incline steeper than
5 degrees is dangerous for use with this wheelchair.
