W. CURBS & SINGLE STEPS

1. Your chair is not designed to drive up or down a curb or step more than two

(2) inches high. Doing so may: 
• Result in a fall or tip-over. 
• Damage the frame, wheels, axles or other chair parts, or loosen fasteners. 

2. To prevent a fall or tip-over, use wheelchair access ramps or have someone help

you. 

3. If you must climb or descend a curb or step alone do so at your own risk and

use extreme care. 
• Go as straight up or straight down as you can. 

Never

turn or climb or

descend at an angle as a fall or tip-over is likely. 

• Proceed slowly, at a steady speed. 

4. Make sure that persons who assist you review the “Tips For Attendants” and

heed all warnings.

U. RAMPS AT HOME & WORK

Make sure ramps meet all Building Codes for your area. 

For your safety, have a licensed contractor build or remodel ramp to meet all standards. 

NOTE– 

The proper design will vary, depending on such things as: the length and
height of the ramp; the need for an intermediate platform; landing size; doors,
and the direction of swing, and; whether the ramp includes a turn or angle.

At A Minimum: 

1. Open sides of ramp must have side rails to prevent your chair from going over

the edge. 

2. Slope must not be steeper than one inch in height for every one foot of slope

length. 

3. Ramp surface must be even, and have a non-skid surface. 
4. You may need to add a section at the top or bottom to avoid a lip or drop-off. 
5. Ramp must be sturdy. Add bracing if needed, so ramp does not “bow” when you

ride on it. 

V. WHEELCHAIR LIFTS

Wheelchair lifts are used in vans, buses, and buildings to help you move from
one level to another.

1. Always turn 

off

all power to your chair when you are on a lift. If you fail to do

so, you may touch the joystick by accident and cause your chair to drive off
the platform. (Be aware that a “roll-stop” at the end of the platform may not
prevent this).

2. Make sure there is not a lip or drop-off at the top or bottom of the platform.

These may cause a fall or tip-over. When in doubt, have someone help you. 

3. Always position the rider securely in the chair to help prevent falls while on a lift.
4. Avoid moving forward if a wheel is “hung up” on the lip of the ramp. Backup,

reposition the caster for a more direct approach. And slowly try again.
