In order to climb stairs, the rear helper pulls the wheelchair backwards
up the steps by holding onto firmly-mounted handles. The lower helper
grips on the front frame tubes and stabilises the wheelchair. By doing
this he pushes the drive wheels of the wheelchair onto the steps.

When decending the lower helper brakes the chair by pressing
the wheelchair straight into the steps. The upper helper holds the
wheelchair by the push handles, keeps it secure and holds it in the
right position. The wheelchair should roll down step by step.
Only the frame and the push handles must be used
as grip points.
Two attendants must help with obstacles and stairs
with more than three steps.
