Using the wheelchair
Finding the tipping point
1. Release the brake.
2. Roll backwards a short distance, grasp both handrims
firmly and push forwards with a slight kick.
3. The shift in weight and steering in opposite directions
with the handrims will enable you to identify the tipping
point.
6.5 Negotiating steps and kerbs
WARNING!
Risk of overturning
When negotiating steps you could lose your
balance and tip the wheelchair over.
– Always approach steps and kerbs slowly and
carefully.
– Do not go up or down steps that are higher
than 25 cm.
CAUTION!
An activated anti-tipper prevents the wheelchair
from tipping backwards.
– Deactivate the anti-tipper before going up or
down steps or kerbs.
