The anti-tippers following the rear wheel
position, may get in conflict with steps and
obstacles when passing. Be very careful when
you have to pass even small heights.
Companions, drive up a step forwards:
• Fold the push-bow down.
• Angle the wheelchair backwards on the drive
wheels by stepping on the anti-tipper-pad before
pushing on the push-handles.
• Push forward till the front castors stand on the
step and continue to push while you also lift
holding on to the push-handles.
Users, drive up a step backwards:
This technique is only useful if the step is very low.
It also depends on the clearance between the foot
plates and the ground.
• Drive the chair backwards towards the step.
• Make a firm grip on the push rims and move the
body forward while pulling.
Companions, drive up a step backwards:
