curb backwards. Lower the rear wheels
down the curb and continue backwards,
taking the weight off the front wheels so
they can be gently lowered.
• Maintain control of chair at all times
while going up/down ramp. Avoid steep
slopes, particularly with a heavy
occupant. If in doubt, do not attempt a
descent unless a third party is present
to help maintain control of chair.
