TILTING

Tilting should only be performed with the assistance of an attendant.
1. Grasp the push handles securely and ensure that handgrips
are firmly attached.
2. Make sure the occupant's feet are secure on the footplates and that arms,
hands and fingers are clear of wheels and/or pinch points.
3. Advise the occupant prior to tilting the wheelchair backward.
4. Place one foot on the tipping lever (located on the rear bottom of
the wheelchair) and apply downward force until the balance point
is reached (approximately 30°).
5. Lower the front end slowly.
RAMPS & INCLINES
Ascent
Lean the upper part of your body slightly forward as you propel up an incline.
If it becomes necessary to stop, avoid any abrupt or sudden forward
movement as this could cause tipping.
Descent
This should only be performed with the assistance of an attendant.
Always face forward when going down a ramp, but DO NOT lean forward as
this could cause the wheelchair to tip. Leaning backward can increase the
stability slightly. It is critical to keep the wheelchair under control at all times
and to handle the wheelchair slowly.
!
WARNING:
•
DO NOT attempt to tilt your wheelchair without assistance. Tilting the wheelchair backward
beyond its balance point can be dangerous and may result in injuries.

CURBS & STEPS
This should only be performed with the assistance of an attendant.
Going up (method 1)
1. Tilt the wheelchair backward to its balance point (~ 30°) and move forward
until the front casters pass over the top of the curb or the step.
2. Lower the front casters slowly on top of the curb.
3. Lift the wheelchair and push it forward until the rear wheels roll up and
over the curb.
4. Ensure the wheelchair is completely cleared of the curb and cannot roll
backwards.
Going up (method 2)
1. Turn the wheelchair backward until the rear wheels are against the curb
or step.
2. Tilt back to its balance point (~ 30°) and pull up the wheelchair over the
curb.
3. Lower down front casters only once the wheelchair is far enough from
the edge of the curb.
!
WARNING:
•
DO NOT attempt inclines or declines without
an anti-tipper installed.
•
DO NOT attempt any incline or decline of
more than nine degrees. During descent,
the lowest part of the footrest should be
no closer to the ground than 2½ inches
to permit proper clearance.
•
DO NOT engage the wheel locks suddenly
on an incline or decline. It is better to roll
backwards than to tip over.
•
DO NOT allow the wheelchair to drop off
the curb edge.
•
DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by
any detachable armrest, leg rest or other
removable parts.
