Using the wheelchair
19
Finding the tipping point
Release the brake.
Roll forwards a short distance, grasp both handrims firmly
and pull backwards with a slight kick.
The shift in weight and steering in opposite directions
with the handrims will enable you to identify the tipping
point.

Negotiating steps and kerbs
WARNING! Risk of overturning
When negotiating steps you could lose your balance
and tip the wheelchair over.
- Always approach steps and kerbs slowly and
carefully.
- Do not go up or down steps that are higher than
25 cm.
CAUTION
An activated antitipper prevents the wheelchair
from tipping backwards.
- Deactivate the antitipper before going up or down
steps or kerbs.
With an assistant
Going down a step
Move the wheelchair right up to the kerb and hold the
handrims.
The assistant should hold both push handles, place one
foot on the tipper aid (if installed) and tilt the wheelchair
backwards so that the castors lift off the ground.
