4.4.2 Tilting by the Attendant
Make sure the user's feet are on the footplates and will not slip off. Make sure the handgrips are secure and cannot slip off.
Release both brakes.
Grasp both push handles firmly.
Put your stronger foot on the relevant tipping lever at the back of the chair.
Inform the person in the chair that you are about to tilt the chair backwards.
Pull the back with both hands and push down and forwards with the foot. This will bring the chair onto the back wheels. (See Figure
4.55)
Caution:
When a chair is tilted to about 25 degrees, it will balance on its rear wheels and be easy to hold. If it is tilted further back it will be
difficult to hold and the person in the chair will feel unsafe.
Keep your back straight while lowering the chair; keep your foot on the anti-tipper and lower the chair slowly, forwards softly to the
ground.
