4.4.5.1 Going Up Curbs Forwards with an Attendant
As the footrests nearly touch the curb tilt the chair. The chair should be
tilted just high enough to allow the front casters to roll smoothly onto the
pavement.
Push the chair forward until the rear wheels are touching the curb. Then,
continuing the movement, lift at the push handles while moving the chair
forwards.
4.4.5.2 Going Up Curbs Backwards with an Attendant
Please note: for safety's sake we do not recommend using this method.
4.4.6 Up and Down Steps/Stairs
Please note: avoid flights of steps particularly if no extra help is available. Use
ramps or lifts wherever possible.
Two attendants are necessary, each capable of carrying at least half of the
combined weight of the person and the wheelchair.
Each helper should bend at the knees and grip the main frame: with the front
attendants hands just under the front of the seat, with the back attendants hands
holding the frame just under the push handles.
Caution:
Don’t attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting
by means of any removable (detachable) parts of wheelchair may result in injury
to the user and/or assistant or damage to the wheelchair.
ALL LIFTING SHOULD BE DONE WITH A STRAIGHT BACK.
Straighten legs to lift the chair. Carefully carry it up or down steps; be aware of
how you place your feet -- do not cross them and trip yourself up.
4.5 Transportation
The VIP-505 has been crash tested to ISO7176 and is suitable for use in a

securely restrained as described in this manual. The VIP was tested with a four
pint webbing system. For further information on the use of wheelchair restraints
please refer to the manufacturer’s user guide.
Karma always recommends that the user be transferred into car seat with a
safety belt or harness while in a transport.
SUGGESTION:
Please transfer to a seat in the car if at all possible
