Section 14 – 1
Operation of wheelchair
Crossing obstacles
If you are a first time user or don’t have the physical strength, it is advisable to have an
attendant assist you while crossing obstacles (e.g. sidewalk kerb). The attendant can tilt the
chair back using the hand grips and the rear tilt bar, then pushing large wheels as far as the
kerb, then lifting the wheelchair up over the kerb.
If you are an experienced user and have the physical strength, the following method may be
used. Place the wheelchair in front of the kerb. By moving the push rim quickly forward, the
castors will lift and the chair will surge forward enabling you to place the castors on the top of
the kerb. If the footplate / footplates touches the obstacle, perform same operation but lift the
front castor just before the obstacle is reached.
