Negotiating obstacles, stairs
Figures 19 and 20
If the wheelchair is being lifted up/down stairs
with the user sitting in it, the recommended lifting
points should be used. These are marked on the
product.
The lifting points are the pushing handles and the
leg supports.
Warning
!
Do not lift the wheelchair by the armrests!
Do not lift the wheelchair by the legrests if the
wheelchair is equipped with angle adjustable
legrests!
Note!
For height adjustable pushing handles,
ensure that the handle is locked before lifting.
In order for assistants to have a better lifting
position they can alternatively lift from each side
of the chair.
Negotiating obstacles, the kerb
Figure 21
When negotiating the kerb etc., swing the anti-tip
stabiliser up. Then place one foot on the tipping
bar whilst steering with the pushing handles.
Steep terrain
For frequent use in undulating terrain, we
recommend that a separate brake be fitted for the
assistant.
