Kerb climber
Front transfers
If you find that the kerb climber is
obstructing your exit or entry into
the wheelchair you can swing the
kerb climber back into the reverse
position. Follow the fitting the
instructions above, but rotate the
climber through 90
Ο
backwards
(Fig. 47).
The kerb climber must be
returned to its operating
position prior to climbing kerbs.

Mounting the kerb
1. Approach the kerb head on
driving forwards slowly and
steadily (Fig. 48).
2. As the Kerb Climber makes
contact with the kerb, the
wheelchair should be moving
slowly. Small kerbs can be
climbed from a standstill.
3. Apply sufficient power to the
motors to lift the front of the chair
up onto the kerb and then apply
slightly more power and speed
so that the drive wheels climb
the kerb smoothly and without
hesitation. As far as possible,
keep the joystick in the straight
forward position.
