10.5.2 Going down steps/curbs
①
The attendant should hold the handle and tip the wheelchair backwards so
that the front casters lift off the ground. Refer to 12.4.5.
②
Pull the rear wheels over the curb until the front casters can be placed
back on the ground.
10.6 Going up and down stairs
The first assistant should stand behind the wheelchair, holding the push
handles, and tilting the chair back to its balance point. The second assistant
should hold a solid part of the front frame to steady the wheelchair in the front.
Lift or lower the chair one step at a time until you reach the landing.
Warning
⚫
Always use two assistants when negotiating stairs with
more than one step.

Don
’
t attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable parts.
This may result in injury to the user and/or assistants or
damage to the wheelchair.
10.7 Negotiating ramps and slopes
Driving on ramps and slopes must always be performed with great care and
attention.
Warning
⚫
Always have an assistant behind the wheelchair when
approaching long slopes.
⚫
Never drive on slopes steeper than 7°. This might result in
uncontrollable behavior of the wheelchair.
Caution
⚫
Never make a turn on a slope due to the danger of tipping.
⚫
Avoid stopping on a slope because it may potentially cause
you to lose control of the chair. If you need to stop the
wheelchair on a slope, lock the wheels from the attendant
brakes or parking brakes to keep it stationary.
