Steps, Stairs Or Obstacles Over 50mm High
We recommend that you take very great care when taking a wheelchair up or
down stairs. Two people are required for this.
ADVICE TO SECOND OR THIRD PERSONS:
Make sure that you get hold of fixed, non-removable parts only!
Using the following procedure for going upstairs (Figure 19) : Tilt the
wheelchair to its point of equilibrium. One helper (at the back) holds the
wheelchair up against the first step, gripping the handles firmly to lift. The
second helper, holding a firmly fixed part of the front frame, lifts the wheelchair
above the stairs and holds it while the first helper places one foot on the
following step and repeats the operation. The wheelchair must not be lowered
until the last step has been negotiated and until the chair is clear of the stairs.
Escalators
Do not use an escalator when moving a wheelchair from one floor to another.
This might cause serious injury.
