7.4 Driving techniques
- Slope -
Important advise for driving down and up
hill avoiding the risk of tipping.
Avoid turning the wheelchair in the
middle of a slope.
Always drive as straight as possible.
It is better to ask for assistance
than taking risks.
Driving uphill:
move the upper part of the body
forwards in order to maintain the balance of
the chair.
Driving downhill:
move the upper part of the body
backwards to maintain balance of the
chair. Control the speed of the chair by
clutching the push rims. Do not use the
brakes.
7.5 Driving techniques
- Up stairs -
Always ask for assistance.
Never use escalators, even if assisted
by a companion.
With assistance, backwards.
• Check that the anti tip is turned up,
• Pull the wheelchair backwards to the
first
step of the stairs.
• Angle the wheelchair backwards on the
main wheels.
• Pull the wheelchair slowly up the stair,
one step at the time keeping the balance
on the main wheel.
• Reaching the top of the stair, pull the
wheelchair backwards far enough to put
the front castors safely down on the
floor.
Turn the anti tip downwards.
If two companions are present, one
person can assist lifting in the front
of the frame.
Do not lift the wheelchair holding
onto the foot supports.
