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.
Do not lift the wheelchair by the
armrests. Do not lift the wheelchair
by angle adjustable leg supports.
NB!
Make sure that the pushing handle is
locked before lifting.
In order for assistants to have a better
lifting position, they can alternatively lift
from each side of the wheelchair.
Negotiating obstacles, kerbs
Figure 21
When negotiating kerbs etc., swing the
anti-tip stabiliser up. Then place one foot
on the tipping bar whilst steering with the
pushing handle. Tilt the chair backwards
where necessary to get clearance between
the obstacle and leg supports.
Steep terrain
For frequent use in undulating terrain, we
recommend that a separate brake is fitted
for an assistant where relevant.
The lifting points
are the pushing
handle and the
leg supports.
