GOING UP A KERB:
Adjust the speed control to the maximum position
to allow full power to the motors.
Approach the kerb head-on (90º), do not charge at
the kerb.
With the front of the kerb climber at about 2.5cm
(1“) from the edge of the kerb, push the joystick
fully forward and continue to climb in one
movement. Do not pause or attempt to steer during
this movement.
If the kerb climb is un-achievable do not continue the manoeuvre, move away from the obstacle and if
possible find an alternative location.
GOING DOWN A KERB:
Approach the edge of the kerb square on. Drive forward down the kerb at a moderate speed. Kerbs of
7.5cm (3“) or more may tip the chair onto the foot plates. It is advisable to go down the kerb backwards
to overcome this problem.
The kerb climbing device will return to the climbing position after each manoeuvre.
NOTE: Climbing kerbs in excess of 10cm (4“) will be restricted if the foot plates are in the fully extended
position. Refer to page 16 for correct foot plate adjustment.
