For attendant: curb descent
1. If equipped with anti-tippers, remove them
temporarily.
2. Ensure that the hand grips are securely fas-
tened and do not turn or slip.
3. Stand behind the Transport Chair, holding
the hand grips, with your back to the curb.
4. Look over your shoulder and step down care-
fully.
5. Hold the hand grips tightly and pull the
Transport Chair until the rear wheels reach
the curb edge.
6. Slowly roll the rear wheels down onto the
lower level.
7. After the wheels are safely on the lower level,
advise the user that you will be tilting back-
ward and remind the user to lean back.
8. Tilt the Transport Chair back to its balance
point ; this will lift the front casters off the
curb. Take several small steps backward until
the front casters have cleared the curb.
9. Turn the Transport Chair around, place one
foot on the tipping lever, and gradually lower
the front casters to the ground.
10. If you have removed anti-tippers, replace them now.
