Negotiating obstacles: steps
Figures 24 and 25
When the wheelchair is to be lifted up or
down steps with the user in the chair, if at
all possible use the recommended lifting
points. These are marked on the product.
See Figure 26.
Ensure that the pushing handle is locked
before you lift.
In order to give the assistants a better
lifting position, they can if necessary lift
with one assistant on each side of the
chair.
Negotiating obstacles: kerbs
Figure 26
When you need to climb kerbs etc., if
necessary push up the anti-tip stabiliser.
Then put one foot on the tipping bar, at the
same time as controlling the chair with the
pushing handle. Tilt the chair backwards
if necessary to get sufficient clearance
between the obstacle and the leg supports.
Steep terrain
If you frequently use the chair in hilly
terrain, we recommend that the assistant
brake be installed
