take the first step on the stairs. Repeat this technique until
you get past the last step. You can let the front wheels down
when the assistant at the front has taken the last step.

Going downstairs:
To go downstairs, the wheelchair should be facing forwards.
The assistant in the back should tip the wheelchair until it ba-
lances. The assistant at the front should support the wheel-
chair by holding the side frames. The wheelchair should then
be slowly guided down each step.
�
Warning:
Never lift a wheelchair by the grips, armrests or footrests.
Always hold a part of the main frame.
