Descent

Always face forward when going down a ramp, but do not lean 
forward; this could cause tipping. Lean slightly backward to increase 
stability. It is critical to keep the wheelchair under control at all 
times. Descent should be made slowly and safely by grasping the 
handrims; however, use care, as friction heat will be generated. We 
recommend the use of gloves to reduce the effects of friction heat, 
but going slower is a better alternative.

CURBS AND STEPS

Curbs, steps and stairways are dangerous obstacles that confront 
the wheelchair user. When you encounter curbs, find a way around, 
or use the ramps now available in most locations. If you encounter 
steps and there is no ramp available, avoid the steps by utilizing the 
disabled designated elevators now required in most locations.

 WARNING: Never attempt to negotiate steps, stairs or 

escalators in your Paramount XD.
