SECURITY
Entrances, doors
The safest way to operate the wheelchair is on a horizontal fl oor free from any obstacles. Whenever possible, use the ramps when entering or exi ng
the building. Keeping your hands on the push handles allows you to maintain maximum balance. Do not force yourself to avoid obstacles by driving,
and never use the side of the door to push yourself away.
Leaning over
Do not lean out to the side of the wheelchair as this may cause you to lose your balance and fall.
Naviga ng hills
• Do not turn on slopes because of the risk of pping over.
• When assis ng, go straight up. If you need to go downhill, walk backwards un l the user is on level ground.
Curbs
• If possible, always use the help of an a endant (in the event of moving with the a endant, the stroller must be equipped with handles for
pushing).
• Avoid heavy jol ng when driving off the curb. Shocks may adversely aff ect the wheelchair.
• Under no circumstances should you a empt to climb over the curb above the normal height.
• Always exercise cau on when passing curbs or turning on a hill, and never reverse the wheelchair without the assistance of an a endant.
Stairs
• Two or more a endants should always be used. Tilt the wheelchair to the point of balance. One of the a endants (at the back) holds the
wheelchair on the fi rst step with his arms fi rmly raised. The second a endant, holding the fi xed part of the front frame, li s the wheelchair above
the steps, while the fi rst a endant places one foot on the next step and repeats the ac on.
