Negotiating obstacles: steps
Figures 16 and 17
If the wheelchair is to be lifted up or down
steps with the user in the chair, if possible
use the recommended lifting points.
The lifting points are the pushing handles
and leg supports.
In order for the assistants to have a better
lifting position, they may lift one on each
side of the chair.
Negotiating obstacles:
kerbstones
Figure 18
When negotiating kerbstones or similar,
swing up the anti-tip stabiliser. Then
place a foot on the tipping bar while you
simultaneously push with the pushing
handles.
Steep ground
If you frequently use the wheelchair on
hilly surfaces, we recommend that a
separate assistant brake be installed.
