Going off a stair
To go down a stairs you follow basically the same operations as going on the stairs. One attendant on the front of
the wheelchair and one attendant on the back of wheelchair. The attendant at the back of the wheelchair grabs the
push handles and let the wheelchairtip backwards until it in balance. When the wheel is in balance the attendant at
the front of the wheelchair needs to grab the side frames. You are now in position to climb the stairs.
Now, the attendant on the front lifts the side frames until they are above the first step and the attendant on the
back makes the first step on the stairs. Repeat this technique until the last step of the stair. You can let the front
castors down when the attendant on the front has taken the last step.
Warning
If your attendant grabs the wheelchair to go on or off a stair, then your attendant should never do this on the
legrests. The legrests are not strong enough for this.
