Bariatric Transport Chair (Issued 03/16) Page 6 of 8
Using the Stepper Tube
Use the stepper tube to raise the front castors (when mounting a kerb for
example). To use, push down on the stepper tube with a foot. Do not raise the
front castors by pushing down on the push handles as this could result in
damage to the wheelchair.
To mount a kerb. Approach the kerb head on. Then the attendant uses the
stepper tube to raise the front castors, and lowers the front castors on the
raised kerb. Finally the attendant should push the wheelchair forward, lifting it
up slightly to mount the kerb if required.
To go down a kerb. Line up the front castors with the edge of the kerb. The
attendant uses the stepper tube to raise the front castors and tip the user
slightly back. Keeping the castors raised, slowly lower the wheelchair down
the kerb.
Warning: When going down a kerb, the front castors must be raised to
prevent the user from falling out. The above are only recommendations and
may not be suitable for all events.
Disassembly and Folding
Before folding, remove any quick release components if required. The
Bariatric Transport Chair has been designed with an easy fold mechanism. To
fold the wheelchair, ensure that the leg rests are removed, or in the forward
position with the footplates flipped up. Holding the front and rear edge of the
seat sling, pull the seat in an upward motion. The wheelchair will naturally fold
up.
Please note though that the wheelchair may be too heavy for some users to
lift. Also be sure to adopt the latest health and safety recommendations
when lifting the wheelchair.
