XL5 / XL5 CI wheelchair
ENGLISH
Steps
1. Unlock and rotate the anti-tip tubes up
in order to avoid conflict with the stairs.
2. The assistant should grab both push
handles and position the wheelchair on
the top step and tilt it in order to lift the
front wheels.
3. The assistant must maintain this
position and push cautiously forward
until the front wheels of the wheelchair
touch the ground.
Note - Never try to descend a step without assistance.
Going up and down stairs
The intervention of two assistants is
required to go up or down stairs. To do
so, one assistant should stand behind the
wheelchair holding the push handles.
The second assistant should maintain
a fixed part of the frame at the front of
the wheelchair to prevent it from rolling
forward.
Going down slopes
It is very important to control your
direction and your speed when going
down slopes. To make a safe descent,
lean back and let the handrims slide
slowly in your hands. You should
always be able to stop the wheelchair
by blocking the handrims.
Note- Always have an assistant behind
the wheelchair when going down
long slopes.
