FIGURE 2.4 Method 2 - Wheelchair
Without Step Tubes
The first assistant should stand on the sidewalk and turn the wheelchair so that the rear
wheels are against the curb. Turn the anti-tippers so the anti-tip wheels are pointing up.
The wheelchair should be tilted back to the balance point and, in one continuous upward
movement, the rear wheels should be pulled up and over the curb. DO NOT return the
front casters to the ground until the wheelchair has been pulled backward far enough for
the front casters to clear the edge of the curb.
ƽ WARNING
When lowering the front casters of the wheelchair, DO NOT let the wheelchair
drop the last few inches to the ground. This could result in injury to the occupant
and/or damage to the wheelchair.
Roll the wheelchair backward and slowly lower the wheelchair in one continuous
movement. Turn the anti-tippers so the anti-tip wheels are facing down.
ƽ WARNING
Make sure that the anti-tipper wheels are pointing down towards the ground/floor
BEFORE usingthe wheelchair.
Turn the anti-tippers wheels down towards the ground/floor.
