Descending a Curb or Single Step
Follow these steps to help a rider descend a curb or single step going down
BACKWARD:
1. Stay at the rear of the chair.
2. Several feet before you reach the edge of the curb or step, turn the chair
around and pull it backward.
3. While looking over your shoulder, carefully step back until you are off the
curb or stair and standing on the lower level.
4. Pull the chair toward you until the rear wheels reach the edge of the curb or
step. Then allow the rear wheels to slowly roll down onto the lower level.
5. When the rear wheels are safely on the lower level, tilt the chair back to its
balance point. This will lift the front casters off of the curb or step.
6. Keep the chair in balance and take small steps backward. Turn the chair
around and gently lower front casters to the ground.
If you fail to heed these warnings, damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or
loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
