Mounting the kerb
1. Approach the kerb head on driving
forwards slowly and steadily (Fig. 53).
2. As the kerb climber makes contact with
the kerb, the wheelchair should be
moving very 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.
