Invacare® Jymni™ Pediatric Series Wheelchair
Method 2 - Wheelchair Without Step Tubes
This method requires two assistants. The second assistant should be
positioned at the front of the wheelchair lifting upward on a
non-removable (non-detachable) part of the wheelchair frame when
lifting the wheelchair and stabilizing the wheelchair when the wheelchair
is being lowered to the ground.
The first assistant should stand on the sidewalk and turn the wheelchair
so that the rear wheels are against the curb. Turn the anti-tippers so the
anti-tip wheels are pointing up. The wheelchair should be tilted back to
the balance point and, in one continuous upward movement, the rear
wheels should be pulled up and over the curb. DO NOT return the front
casters to the ground until the wheelchair has been pulled backward far
enough for the front casters to clear the edge of the curb.
Roll the wheelchair backward and slowly lower the wheelchair in one
continuous movement. Turn the anti-tippers so the anti-tip wheels are
facing down.

WARNING
Extreme caution is advised when it is necessary to move an occupied or unoccupied wheelchair up or down the stairs. Invacare
recommends that, if possible, the user be removed from the wheelchair prior to moving. Invacare recommends using two
assistants and making thorough preparations. Make sure to use only secure, non-detachable parts for hand-held supports.
