Before you assist a rider, be sure to read the warnings “For Attendants” (p. 12) and
follow all instructions that apply. Be aware that you will need to learn safe methods
best suited to your abilities.

Follow these steps to help the rider learn to do a “wheelie”:
1. Read and follow the warnings for “WHEELIES.” (See p. 14)
2. Stand at the rear of the chair.You must be able to move with the chair to
prevent a tip-over.
3. Keep your hands BENEATH the push handles, ready to catch the rider if the
chair tips back.
4. When you are ready, have the rider place his or her hands on the forward part
of the handrims.
5. Have the rider make a quick BACKWARD movement of the rear wheels, quick-
ly followed by a hard FORWARD thrust. (This will tilt the chair up on the bal-
ance point of the rear wheels.)
6. Have the rider make small movements of the handrims to stay in balance.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

step.Then allow the rear wheels to slowly roll down onto the lower level.
5. When the rear wheels are safely on the lower level, tilt the chair back to its bal-
ance point.This will lift the front casters off the curb or step.
