Moving onto the sidewalk
We recommend to have assitant to move onto sidewalk. Firstly, accompanying person positions the wheelchair straight in front
of the curbside. After, tips the wheelchair backwards, until the steering wheels reach the curb. Lastly, pushes the wheelchair
straight forward, until the back wheels hit the curb and whenpushes the wheelchair again, until the back wheels go over the
curbside.
Stairs
We suggest seeking help from two people, one in front of the wheelchair and one behind it, due to the fact that hurdling stairs
is more difficult and dangerous. The person behind the wheelchair, tips the wheelchair backwards until it is balanced. Then,
pushes the wheelchair against the first step, grabbing the handle firmly, to prepare to lift the wheelchair. The person in front
of the wheelchair grabs the sides of the frame in the front of the wheelchair and lifts the chair over the steps, while the other
accompanying person steps on the next step, repeating the first process. Do not lower the wheelchair until you hurdled the last
step of the person in front of the wheelchair. Carrying a wheelchair down the stairs is the same process as explained previously,
in reversed order.
Ascending a ramp
Lean your torso forward and use the hand rims with fast strokes, to keep up the proper speed. If you need a brake or relax on
your journey, you must make sure to activate the two fixing brakes at the same time.
Descending a ramp
Lean your torso backwards and let the hand rims go (flow through your hands), making sure you have the speed and direction
under control. Avoid sudden directional changes, never try to ascend or descend a ramp diagonally and never try to turn the
wheelchair while ascending. The wheelchair is not applicable as a seat for cars.
