Riding down the hill, step

 

 

This maneuver should be done while riding backwards.  

 

The silhouette should be leaned forwards in order to properly move the center of gravity 
while the speed of ride should be controlled by firm grip on the handrims. 

 

It is important to control the direction and speed while riding down the hill.

)

 

Note!

 In case of longer hills you should ride only in the company of the third person who will walk 

protectively behind the wheelchair. 

 
USAGE WITH HELP OF THE ACCOMPANYING PERSON 

Optionally, the wheelchair can be pushed by the accompanying person who holds hand grips placed 
on the backrest. The accompanying person must obey the following rules: 

 

Before the ride, make sure that no user’s body part or piece of cloth is exposed to moving 
parts of the wheelchair. 

 

When the user is not able to  keep sitting position independently, equip  (additionally) the 
wheelchair with stabilizing belts. 

 

The wheelchair should be pushed with both hands. When it is necessary to raise the front 
wheels, press the lower grip of the frame with one foot and simultaneously pull the hand 
grips towards you; lean over the wheelchair backwards. 

 

To stop the wheelchair, move the wheel lock lever (located at the rear wheels) towards the 
front of the wheelchair until the wheel is locked (perceptible resistance). Repeat the action 
with the other wheel. To release the wheel lock and allow further riding,  move  the lever 
towards the back of the wheelchair. 

Note!

 While getting in or out the wheelchair, changing the user’s position or stop, the wheels must 

be absolutely locked. 

Note! 

Never leave the user in the wheelchair unattended (even with engaged wheel locks) on ramps 

and landings, etc.! 
 

Riding down the step 

 

Ride up to the edge of the step and grab handrims. 

 

Pull both hand grips towards you and simultaneously press the tube of the frame with your 
foot in order to lift front wheels. 

 

Keeping the wheelchair in this position, move the wheelchair carefully down the step and 
push it forwards so that the front wheels touch the ground.
