Descent
GOING DOWN
Ensure the hand grips are securely fastened and
do not turn or slip off. While standing behind
the wheelchair, turn the wheelchair around and
carefully back down the step. Hold the handgrips
tightly and pull the wheelchair to where the rear
wheels reach the curb edge, then slowly roll the
rear wheels down onto the lower level. After
the wheels are safely on the lower level, tilt the
wheelchair back to its balance position and turn
it face forward. Lower the front casters carefully
by placing one foot on the tipping lever and
gradually decreasing the force of exertion.
