CLIMBING STEPS
Approach the step slightly sideways so that the wheelchair is able to mount the step one wheel at a
time. Move the balance position backwards and raise the foot rest so that it doesn't hit the step.
Drive the wheelchair’s front wheels onto the step.

Move the balance forwards so that wheelchair’s rear part becomes lighter and drive the entire
wheelchair onto the step. Finally, move the balance to even ground position. The same driving
method can be used to overcome greater obstacles.
