OBSTACLES AND ROAD HAZARDS (SUCH AS POTHOLES AND
BROKEN PAVEMENT) CAN DAMAGE YOUR CHAIR AND MAY
CAUSE A FALL, TIPOVER OR LOSS OF CONTROL.
To avoid these risks:
1. Keep a lookout for danger – scan the area well ahead of your
chair as you ride.
2. Make sure the floor areas where you ride are level and free of
obstacles.
3. Remove or cover threshold strips between rooms.
4. Install a ramp at entry or exit doors. Make sure there is not a
drop off at the bottom of the ramp.
5. Keep both of your hands on your lap or inside the seat rails. If
you ignore these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over
or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the
rider or others.
A. DESCENDING A CURB OR SINGLE STEP
Follow these steps to descend a curb or single step going
BACKWARD:
1. Several feet before your reach the edge of the curb or step, turn
the chair around and pull it backward.
2. While looking over your shoulder, carefully step back until you
are off the curb or stair and standing on the lower level.
3. Pull the chair toward you until the rear wheels reach the edge of
the curb or step. Then allow the rear wheels to slowly roll
down onto the lower level.
4. When the rear wheels are safely on the lower level, tilt the chair
back to its balance point. This will lift the front casters off the
curb or step.
5. Keep the chair in balance and take small steps backward. Turn the
chair around and gently lower front casters to the ground.
B. CLIMBING A CURB OR SINGLE STEP
Follow these steps to climb a curb or single step going FORWARD:
1. Face the curb and tilt the chair up on the rear wheels so that the
front casters clear the curb or step.
2. Move forward, placing the front casters on the upper level as
soon as you are sure they are past the edge.
3. Continue forward until the rear wheels contact the face of the
curb or step. Lift the rear wheels to the upper level.
