CONVAID USER’S GUIDE
• When going down a curb, approach the curb backwards. Lower the rear wheels
down the curb and continue backwards, taking the weight off the front wheels so
they can be gently lowered.
• When transferring user to or from chair, apply foot wheel locks.
• Maintain control of the chair at all times while going up/down ramp.
• Avoid steep slopes, particularly with a heavy occupant. If in doubt, do not proceed
unless a third party is present to help maintain control of chair.
• Do not attempt to take occupied chair up or down stairs, escalators, steep inclines,
icy or slippery surfaces.
• Do not go up or down stairs without the assistance of another person or with the
user in the chair. If devices such as ramps or elevators are available, please use
them. If they are not available, then the chair should be carried over the obstacle by
two people without the user in the chair.
• Maintain control of the chair at all times while going up/down ramp. Avoid steep
slopes, particularly with a heavy occupant. If in doubt, do not proceed unless a third
party is present to help maintain control of chair.
