Going down

2. Hold the wheelchair securely and pull the wheelchair to where the rear

wheels reach the curb edge.

3. Slowly roll the rear wheels down onto the lower level.

4. Tilt back to its balance point (~ 30°) and turn face forward.

5. Carefully lower the front casters by placing one foot on the tipping lever

until the wheelchair is completely cleared of the curb/step.

Stairways

Never use the wheelchair on stairs UNLESS you have someone to help you.

Ramps or elevators are strongly recommended.

PROPELLING YOURSELF

1. Position yourself comfortably in the chair.

2. Grasp the handrims and rotate them in the direction you wish to go.

Practice slowly until you develop a consistent stroke.

WARNING:

•

DO NOT lean over the top of the back

upholstery.

•

DO NOT attempt to step over a high curb

without two attendants. ALWAYS check the

hand grips to make sure that they are secure

and are not rotating or slipping off.

Wheelchairs are especially prohibited on

escalators. It is extremely dangerous and

should never be attempted.
