9.3. Negotiating stairs
and high steps
• The helpers must only take hold of securely fitted parts
of the frame (Figs. 32 and 33).
• When going up stairs the helper behind the wheelchair
pulls the wheelchair over the step holding it by the
securely fitted handles.
• The helper who is below takes hold of the front frame
tubes and stabilises the position. At the same time,
they push the rear wheels of the wheelchair against the
steps.
Where the steps are high and where there are stairs
with more than 3 steps, 2 accompanying people
must help.
9.2. Getting in and out
from the front
• First swing the foot plates up or remove the legrests.
• Move the Pyro start plus+ and the current or future sea-
ting as close as possible facing one another.
• If you want to move from another wheelchair or indoor
frame, secure this by activating the locking brakes.
• Now slide onto the seat with a turn of the body.
• Finally, return the legrests to their original position.
Never climb on the foot plates!
