NEGOTIATING SMALL STEPS
When approaching steps wherever possible mount
and dismount via ramps. Always approach the step
head on, not at an angle.
Your indoor powered wheelchair can safely climb
steps of up to 5 cm without a kerb climber. Before
negotiating the step, ensure the speed control setting
is set to maximum. As the front wheels are about to
make contact with the step push the joystick fully
forward and hold it there until both front and rear
wheels have climbed the step.
If the climb is unachievable do not continue the
manoeuvre, move away from the obstacle and if
possible find an alternate location.
