TIPPING - CURBS: METHOD 1 - WHEELCHAIR WITH STEP TUBES:
Place foot on the step tube and begin to tilt the wheelchair toward you. Apply a continu-
ous downward motion until the balance point is achieved and the front casters clear the
curb. At this point, the assistant will feel a
difference in the weight distribution.
WARNING
When lowering the front casters of
the wheelchair, DO NOT let the
wheelchair drop the last few inches to
the ground. This could result in injury
to the occupant and/or damage to the
wheelchair.
Roll the wheelchair forward and slowly lower the front of the wheelchair in one continuous
movement onto the sidewalk. Do not let the wheelchair drop the last few inches to the
ground. This could result in injury to the occupant. Push the wheelchair forward until the
rear wheels roll up and over the curb.
TIPPING - CURBS: METHOD 2 - WHEELCHAIR WITHOUT STEP TUBE
WARNING
Always verify that hand grips on the
rear cane are secure PRIOR to use
when an assistant is used to propel or
lift the chair. Check for any signs of
looseness or deterioration and if
found, contact a qualified technician.
DO NOT attempt to move the
wheelchair by pulling on the hand
grips if they are found to be unsecure
or have deteriorated.
This method requires two (2) assistants. The second assistant should be positioned at the
front of the wheelchair lifting upward on a non-removable (non-detachable) part of the
wheelchair frame when lifting the wheelchair and stabilizing the wheelchair when the wheel-
chair is being lowered to the ground.
The first assistant should stand on the sidewalk and turn the wheelchair so that the rear wheels
are against the curb. Turn the anti-tippers so the anti-tip wheels are pointing up. The wheel-
chair should be tilted back to the balance point and, in one continuous upward movement, the
rear wheels should be pulled up and over the curb. DO NOT return the front casters to the
ground until the wheelchair has been pulled backward far enough for the front casters to clear
the edge of the curb.
WARNING
When lowering the front casters of the wheelchair, DO NOT let the
wheelchair drop the last few inches to the ground. This could result in injury to
the occupant and/or damage to the wheelchair.
Roll the wheelchair backward and
SLOWLY
lower the wheelchair in one continuous movement.
DO NOT let the wheelchair drop the last few inches to the ground. This could result in injury to the
occupant. Turn the anti-tippers so the anti-tip wheels are facing down.
