K. Curbs, Steps and Stairs
WARNING: Do not ascend or descend more than 1 or 2 steps/stairs in your mobility base.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your mobility base, a fall, tip-over or lossof
control may occur and cause severe injury or death to the rider or others.
A. Do not try to climb or descend a curb or step alone UNLESS you are confident that you can
do so safely and:
i. You are sure you have the strength and balance to do so.
ii. Do not try to climb or descend a high curb or step (more than 4 inches high)
UNLESS you have help. Doing so may cause your mobility base to exceed its
balance point and tip over.
iii. Go straight up and straight down a curb or step. If you climb or descend at an
angle, a fall or tip-over is likely.
iv. Be aware that the impact of dropping down from a curb or step can damage your
mobility base or loosen fasteners.
B. Do not ascend or descend stairs in your mobility base. Ascending and descending stairs can
be challenging and may result in a fall that could result in damage to your mobility base,
serious injury or death to the user and/or those assisting.
