WARNING!
The following methods must be used only from experienced patients. If you are
not experienced, let you help from an assistant!
GET ON
Position the wheelchair at the curb to be crossed. Balance the wheelchair on the rear wheels,
in order to lift the front wheels, enough to lean them on the obstacle. Bend your trunk forward
and vigorously push the handrail. Continue pushing until the rear wheels are climbing over the
obstacle.
GET OFF
To get off the stair follow the reverse procedure, positioning the rear side of the wheelchair at
the curb, keep the handrails vigorously and get off the obstacle slowly; then balance the whee-
lchair on the rear wheels in order to complete the descent.
