4.13 Tilting by the Attendant
4.13.1 Make sure both the user's feet are on the footplates and will not slip
off. Make sure the handgrips are secure and cannot slip off.
4.13.2 Release both brakes.
4.13.3 Grasp both push handles firmly.
4.13.4 Put your stronger foot on the relevant tipping lever at the back of the
chair.
4.13.5 Tell the person in the chair that you are about to tilt the chair
backwards.
4.13.6 Pull back with both hands and push down and forwards with the foot.
This will bring the chair onto the back wheels. (See Figure 4.52)
CAUTION:
●
When a chair is tilted to about 25 degrees it will balance on its rear
wheels and be easy to hold. If it is tilted further back it will be difficult
to hold and the person in the chair will feel unsafe.
●
Lower with a straight back; keep your foot on the anti-tipper and lower
the chair slowly forwards softly to the ground.
4.14 Tilting by the User
4.14.1 Make sure your feet are on the footplates and will not slip off.
4.14.2 Release both brakes.
4.14.3 Grasp both push rims and give a firm, sudden forward push
immediately before the obstacle, continue the momentum (be ready
to keep pushing) until the obstacle is mounted.
CAUTION:
●
This method should only be attempted by people experienced in
wheelchair use. Strong arms are also necessary. It is always better to
have the help of an attendant.
●
Leaning backwards causes the castors(casters) to rise higher BUT it is
much safer to lean forwards and stay balanced.
