    This above situation may be made more critical by using different rear wheel positions to achieve greater seat inclination, by fixing the rear wheel further forward, or by using a cushion to sit higher Similarly, when braking to halt backward movement the castors will again lose downforce, giving rise to backward tilting and the risk of tipping over.

    Should you wish to negotiate such an obstacle with the help of an able-bodied person, the latter should not, as a rule, attempt to lift the LEVO active-easy completely clear of the steps. Rather he should ensure that the rear wheels stay in contact with the steps at all times.

This applies, for example, when standing up, sliding over into your wheelchair or when you want to transfer from the wheelchair into another seat. For safety reasons, it is particularly important to note that, when transferring, even if the rear wheels are locked by the brakes, the wheelchair can easily slip sideways if it is not carrying a load.
