using the stepper tube
An attendant can use the stepper tube to raise the front castors (when
mounting a kerb for example). To use, push down on the stepper tube with
a foot. Do not raise the front castors by pushing down on the push handles
as this could result in damage to the wheelchair.
To mount a kerb. Approach the kerb head on. Then the attendant uses the
stepper tube to raise the front castors, and lowers the front castors on the
raised kerb. Finally the attendant should push the wheelchair forward,
lifting it up slightly to mount the kerb if required.
To go down a kerb. Line up the front castors with the edge of the kerb.
The attendant uses the stepper tube to raise the front castors and tip the
user slightly back. Keeping the castors raised, slowly lower the wheelchair
down the kerb.

Parking Brakes
To apply the parking brakes, push the handle on the brake unit until
locked in place. To release the brake, push the handle in the opposite

stationary.
Cable Brakes
On the tranist models, the attendant
pushing the wheelchair may use
cable-operated brakes to slow or
park the wheelchair.
To apply the brakes, squeeze the
large lever (A) on the push handles
and the brakes will be applied until
the levers are released. Ensure both
levers are pulled simultaneously to
ensure the wheelchair travels in a
straight line.
