Tips for climbing a kerb or
single step with help
Read and follow the warnings for
attendants. To help the rider mount
a kerb or single step in a forward
direction:
1. Always stay behind the
wheelchair.
2. Face the kerb and tilt the chair
up on the rear wheels so that the
front castors clear the kerb or
step (Fig.12).
3. Move forward, placing the front
castors on the upper level as
soon as you are sure that they
are past the edge.
4. Continue forward until the rear
wheels contact the face of the
kerb or step (Fig. 13). Lift and
roll the rear wheels to the upper
level.
