Kerbs, Or Obstacles Up To 50mm High

Method 1 - Negotiating the obstacle forwards
(Figure 17)
The helper should tilt the wheelchair until the castors
have passed over the kerb. Move the wheelchair
forwards and lower the castors gently onto the
pavement. Push the wheelchair until the rear wheels
touch the kerb. Lift and push until the rear wheels
have mounted the kerb. Do not just lift by the
handles on the backrest.
