Going up or down stairs

To safely go up or down stairs, the help of
two attendants is required and the following
procedure should be followed.
1. Place the back of the wheelchair towards
the stairs. The first attendant must stand
behind the wheelchair and firmly grip the
push handles, the second attendant must
take hold of a fixed part of the front frame
to prevent the wheelchair from rolling
forward.
2. Once both attendants are in position, tilt
the wheelchair back, so that the front
caster wheels are raised above ground.
3. Roll the wheelchair so that the propulsion
wheels are positioned at the edge of the
first step and lift the wheelchair.
4. Go up or down the stairs and then gently
lower the wheelchair, so that all four
wheels are on the ground.
Note – Never go down a sidewalk or step
without assistance.
Note - The attendants must not forget to keep
their backs straight and to bend their knees
when lifting the wheelchair to avoid injury.
