4.33.1 dismounting the kerb with a rear wheel drive
chair
warnIng!
Reverse the chair slowly and carefully until both rear
wheels are on the edge of the kerb, again in a 90°
position to the kerb.
Reverse as slowly as possible off the kerb with the rear
wheels. You will feel more secure if you can lean forward,
but if you can't, don't worry, the wheelchair is extremely
stable. As long as you stay within its limitation, you will
be quite safe.
The front of the chair will naturally follow down the kerb
as you continue to drive slowly backwards.
We recommend to use the lap strap to feel more secure
during declining the kerb.
4.33.2 dismounting the kerb with a front (fwd) or
mid wheel drive (mwd) chair
warnIng!
Move the chair slowly and carefully in a forward direction
until both front wheels are on the edge of the kerb, again
in a 90° position to the kerb. (
Drive as slowly as possible off the kerb with the drive
wheels. Don't stop the chair during declining the kerb.
You will feel more secure if you can lean backwards,
but if you can't, don't worry, the wheelchair is extremely
stable. As long as you stay within its limitation, you will
be quite safe.
The rear of the chair will naturally follow down the kerb
as you continue to drive slowly forwards.
All powered seating options need to be in home position.
Your powered leg rests may need to be adjusted to give
enough clearance to mount or dismount the kerb.
We recommend to use the lap strap to feel more secure
during declining the kerb. For extra protection we
recommend to fit every chair with the leg rests.

danger!
1. Please show the utmost consideration for the other
traffic on the road. Remember that the last thing a car
or lorry driver expects to see is a wheelchair backing
off the kerb into the road. If in any doubt, do not risk
crossing the road until you are certain that it is safe.
2. Always cross the road as quickly as possible; there
may be other traffic.
3. Do not attempt to go up or down more than a 10 cm
(4") high kerb (Jive R only with kerb climber fitted).
4. Do not attempt to use the kerb climber on a series of
steps.
5. Do not attempt kerbs if on steep slopes or cambers.
6. Do not attempt any kerbs in the vicinity of drain covers,
uneven or gritty road surfaces.
7. Do not attempt to dismount a kerb any higher than 5
cm (2") in the forwards direction in a RWD-chair.
8. Do not mount or dismount kerbs at an angle other than
straight on (90 degrees) to the edge of the kerb.
9. Prior to climbing ensure your leg rests will clear the
kerb.
10. Take care of the anti tips which might interfere with
the kerb or the ground when mounting or dismounting
a kerb.
