Going down a flight of stairs
To go down a stairs you basically follow the same operations as going up the stairs. One attendant at the front of
the wheelchair and, one attendant at the back of wheelchair. The attendant at the back of the wheelchair grabs the
push handles and lets the wheelchair tip backwards until it is in balance. When the chair is in balance the attendant
at the front needs to grab the side frames. You are now in position to descend the stairs.
Now, the attendant at the front lifts the side frames until they are above the first step and the attendant at the back
makes the first step on the stairs. Repeat this technique until the last step of the stair. You can let the front castors
down when the attendant at the front has taken the last step.
Warning
Please be aware; the footrests are not built for lifting, carrying the wheelchair with, they are removable and an
accident will occur.
