- Method 2 (gure 12)
In this case, the attendant stays on the pavement and tilts
the wheelchair in a backwards position with the rear
wheels against the kerb. The attendant tilts the wheelchair
backwards until it is balanced and pulls the wheelchair with a
steady movement until the rear wheels climb over the kerb ;
then he / she lowers the castors, while making sure that the
chair is far enough on the pavement so that the castors do
not fall into empty space.
To get off the pavement :
The attendant positions the wheelchair facing forward on
the pavement and tilts it backwards until it is balanced, then
he/she pushes the wheelchair forward until the rear wheels
touch the road after getting over the obstacle; then, he / she
gradually lowers the castors to the ground.
1.5. Stairways
Because this is a difcult movement, we recommend using
two attendants, one in front of the wheelchair and one
behind the wheelchair.
Warning :
we recommend that users over 100 kg in weight do not use
this stairway manoeuvre !
To climb stairways (gure 13) :
After tilting the wheelchair to the point of equilibrium, one
assistant (at the back) holds the wheelchair up against the
rst step grasping the handles rmly to lift.
The second assistant, lifts the wheelchair above the stairs,
while holding rmly a xed part of the frame, and holds
it while the rst assistant takes a step and repeats the
operation. The wheelchair must not be lowered until the last
step has been passed and the chair is clear of the stairs.
To descend stairways :
Same operation as above, however, reverse steps as above.
Warning :
- Do not attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable
parts (such as armrests, legrests or footrests).
- Avoid using an escalator which may lead to serious injury
in the event of a fall.
