4.8: Tipping the wheelchair
To tip the wheelchair backwards when
climbing kerbs, stand behind the wheelchair
holding onto both push handles. Place one
foot; either right of left whichever suits you,
onto the tipping point (see right). Press
down with your foot and pull back with your
arms. The front of the chair will lift.
Fig 4.8.1
Important:
Take great care when tipping to avoid the combined weight of occupant and
wheelchair overcoming your strength and tipping backwards onto you. Never try to
tip the wheelchair if the occupant is heavier than you are.

adjustment, so that it can be adapted to suit
your needs.
