V. WHEELCHAIR LIFTS

Wheelchair lifts are used in vans, buses, and buildings to help you move from one level to another.

1.Always turn off all power to your chair when you are on a lift. If you fail to do so, you may touch the joystick by accident and cause your chair to drive off the platform. (Be aware that a “roll-stop” at the end of the platform may not prevent this).

2.Make sure there is not a lip or drop-off at the top or bottom of the platform. These may cause a fall or tip-over.When in doubt, have someone help you.

3.Always secure the rider with a positioning belt to help prevent falls during transfers.

4.Avoid moving forward if a wheel is “hung up” on the lip of the ramp. Backup, reposition the caster for a more direct approach and slowly try again.

W. CURBS & SINGLE STEPS

1.Your chair is not designed to drive up or down a curb or step more than two

(2) inches high. Doing so may:

Result in a fall or tip-over.

Damage the frame, wheels, axles or other chair parts, or loosen fasteners.

2.To prevent a fall or tip-over, use wheelchair access ramps or have someone help you.

3.If you must climb or descend a curb or step alone do so at your own risk and use extreme care.

Go as straight up or straight down as you can. Never turn or climb or descend at an angle as a fall or tip-over is likely.

Proceed slowly, at a steady speed.

4.Make sure that persons who assist you review the “Tips For Attendants” and heed all warnings.
