Tips for descending a kerb or
single step with help
Read and follow the warnings for
attendants. To help the rider
descend a kerb or single step in a
backward direction:
1. Check to make sure that push
handle grips will not rotate or slip
off.
2. Always stay behind the
wheelchair (Fig. 8).
3. Before you reach the edge of the
kerb or step, turn the chair
around and pull it backwards.
4. While looking over your
shoulder, carefully step back
until you are off the kerb or step
and standing on the lower level.
5. Pull the chair towards you until
the rear wheels reach the edge
of the kerb or step. Then allow
the rear wheels to slowly roll
down onto the lower level
(Fig.9).
6. When the rear wheels are safely
on the lower level, tilt the chair
back to its balance point. This
will lift the front castors off the
kerb or step.
7. Keep the balance position and
take small steps backwards.
Turn the chair around and
carefully lower the front castors
to the ground.
