Small kerbs (up or down)
These can be taken forward (E / F) with one attendant:
1. The attendant moves the wheelchair forward approaching the kerb.
Make sure the footplates won't touch the kerbs.
2. Lean backwards to reduce the pressure on the front wheels.
3. The attendant holds the handles firmly while moving forward. If
necessary he uses the tip cap to keep the front wheels lifted until they
have passed the kerb rim.
4. The attendant releases the pressure on the handles and tip cap to
gently put the front wheels on the ground.
5. Next, he holds the handles firmly while pushing the wheelchair with the
rear wheels up/down the kerb.
Medium kerbs (up or down)
These should be taken backwards with one attendant:
1. The attendant reverses the wheelchair so that rear wheels approach the
kerb first (G / H).
2. Going down: Lean forward (G) to move your centre of gravity to the
front.
Going up: Lean backward (H) to move your centre of gravity to the back.
3. The attendant pulls the wheelchair gently from/on the kerb.
Higher kerbs
Higher kerbs, but below maximum size, see §5, should be taken with help of two attendants.
Going down:
1. Remove the footrests.
2. The attendant moves the wheelchair forward approaching the kerb.
3. Lean backwards to reduce the pressure on the front wheels.
4. The attendant holds the handles firmly and uses the tip cap to keep the front wheels
lifted till they have passed the kerb rim.
5. The second attendant grabs the front of the frame and moves backwards while pulling
the rear wheels down the kerb.
6. The first attendant releases the pressure on the handles and tip cap to put the front
wheels on the ground.
Going up:
1. Remove the footrests.
2. The first attendant reverses the wheelchair so that rear wheels approach the kerb first.
3. Lean backward to move your centre of gravity to the back.
4. The second attendant grabs the front of the frame and moves forward while
pulling/pushing the rear wheels on the kerb. The first attendant lifts and holds the
