Using the wheelchair
6.6 Going up and down stairs
WARNING!
Risk of overturning
When negotiating stairs you could lose your balance
and overturn your wheelchair.
–
Always use two assistants when negotiating stairs
with more than one step.
1. You can go up and down stairs by taking them one step at a time,
as described above. The first assistant should stand behind the
wheelchair holding the push handles. The second assistant should
hold a solid part of the front frame to steady the wheelchair from
the front.

Risk due to wheelchair being out of control
When negotiating slopes or gradients your wheelchair
could tip backwards, forwards or sideways.
–
Always have an assistant behind the wheelchair when
approaching long slopes.

Avoid slopes of more than 7°.
– Avoid jerking when changing direction on a slope.
CAUTION!
Your wheelchair could run away even on slightly sloping
ground if you do not control it using the handrims.

on sloping ground.
