3.2 Negotiating pavements and uneven surfaces

Going up the pavement:

A wheelchair attendant can help the user in two different ways. We recommend using 

the first method.

1. The user and attendant face towards the pavement. The attendant must pull the 

handles towards him and place his foot on the stepper, located on the rear of the 

wheelchair between the wheels. This creates a leverage effect.

3. USER INSTRUCTIONS

2. The attendant stands on the pavement. Make sure the wheelchair is positioned 

with the rear wheels as close to the pavement as possible. The user then leans 

backwards, causing the wheelchair to tip backwards. The attendant should 

make sure the front wheels are on the pavement before slowly lowering the 

wheelchair.

Warning

Do not drive directly into curbs to get up on to a pavement.

Going down the pavement:

Move the wheelchair to the curb. The user leans back and the attendant tilts the 

wheelchair to find the balance point. When the wheelchair is balanced, the attendant 

should move the wheelchair slowly off the curb. The attendant should only lower the 

front wheels back to the ground when the wheelchair is completely off the pavement.
