8. MANOEUVERING
8.1 General techniques
The weight and balance of the chair
influences the manoeuvering ability of the
wheelchair. The weight, size and sitting
position of the user are also influencing
factors. Also the position of the wheels will
influence the driving ability. The more weight
placed over the main wheels, the easier it is
to manoeuvre. If heavy weight is placed over
the front castors, the chair will be heavy to
manoeuvre.
Companion:
If the user is left alone in the wheelchair,
always lock the brakes and secure that the
anti tips are turned down.
Parking:
Increase the underneath support of the
wheelchair by moving the chair about 10 cm
backwards making the front castors turn
forward.
8.2 Driving techniques
- Step up -
Users, drive up a step forwards:
This technique is only for very experienced
users.
• Check that the anti tip is turned up.
• Drive close to the step.
• Balance the wheelchair on the main wheel
so that the front castors are lifted high
enough to enter the step.
• Make a firm grip on the push rims and move
the body forward while pushing.
Turn the anti tip down.
