3.6.4 Coping with obstacles
Risk of injuries caused by tipping over
If you do not have enough experience driving the wheelchair, ask assistance of an attendant.
Make sure that the footplates won't touch ground while taking an obstacle.
If necessary,
remove the footrests.
Do not use your wheelchair on an escalator.
If available, wear your safety belt.
Riding without attendant

1. Move forward approaching the kerb (A).
2. Make sure the footplates won’t touch the kerbs.
3. Lean backwards to reduce the pressure on the front wheels (B).
4. Move the wheelchair forward till the front wheels are on the higher/lower
part of the kerb.
5. Slowly ride the kerb up or down with the rear wheels. Hold the hand rims
firmly to control the movement.
C. Climb higher steps or kerbs:
1. Move forward approaching the kerb to climb.
2. Make sure the footplates won’t touch the kerbs.
3. Lean backwards till you balance on the rear wheels and move forward while
balancing on 2 wheels (B).
4. When the front wheels are over the kerb, bend forward to get stability (C).
5. Move forward by rolling the rear wheels on the kerb.

the movement.
Riding with an attendant

sure the footplates won’t touch the kerbs.
2. Lean backwards to reduce the pressure on the front wheels.
3. The attendant holds the handles firmly while moving forward. If
necessary he uses the tip cap to keep the front wheels lifted till they have
passed the kerb rim.

the front wheels on the ground.
5. Next, he holds the handles firmly while pushing the wheelchair with the
rear wheels up/down the kerb.
