Using the Stepper Tube
Use the stepper tube to raise the front castors (when mounting a low kerb for
example). To use, push down on the stepper tube with your foot. DO NOT raise
the front castors by pushing down on the push handles as this could tip the
wheelchair.
To mount a low kerb. Approach the low kerb head on. Then the assistant uses
the stepper tube to raise the front castors, and lowers the front castors on the
raised kerb. Finally the assistant should push the wheelchair forward, lifting it up
slightly to mount the kerb if required.
To go down a low kerb. Line up the front castors with the edge of the low kerb.
The assistant uses the stepper tube to raise the front castors and tip the users
back slightly. Keeping the castors raised slowly move the wheelchair forward and
slowly lower it down the low kerb.
Warning: When going down a low kerb, the front castors must be raised to
prevent the user from falling forward. The above are only recommendations and
may not be suitable for all events.
