Slopes and Gradients

Do not attempt to climb or descend beyond your limitations to avoid tipping over.

Climbing Upwards

Lean the upper body forward and move the wheelchair forwards with short quick

pushes on the Handrims.

Downward Travel

Lean backwards in the chair and let the handrim slide gently through your hands

to control downward speed and direction.

Note: When travelling down or up a slope, avoid sharp turns, zigzag movements

or moving across the slope

Practical Use

Many activities require the wheelchair owner to reach, bend and transfer in and out of the wheelchair.

These movements will cause a change to the normal balance, the centre of gravity and weight

distribution of the wheelchair.

To determine and establish your particular safety limits, activities involving reaching, bending and

transferring should first be practised with a qualified health care professional.

Tilting

WARNING! Do not tilt the wheelchair without assistance.

1. The attendant should grasp the push handles securely, making sure that

the handle grips are firmly attached.

2. Inform the chair occupant before tilting the chair and remind him/her to

lean back. Be sure the occupant's feet and hands are clear of all wheels.

3. Place one foot on the tipping lever and apply a continuous motion until

the balance point is achieved. At this point, the attendant will feel a difference

in weight distribution (this usually occurs at about 14° angle).

4. Turn the wheelchair in the direction required.

5. Lower the front end, placing one foot on the tipping lever and grasping the push handles to slowly

lower to the ground.

NOTE: After mastering the techniques of tilting the chair, use this procedure to tackle kerbs, steps, etc.

Kerbs

1. The attendant should stand on the pavement and turn the chair so that the

rear wheels are against the kerb.

2. The chair should be tilted back to the balance point and in one continuous

movement, the rear wheels should be pulled up and over the kerb.

NOTE: We recommend that two attendants are utilised for this procedure.
