C. CLIMBING A CURB OR SINGLE STEP

Follow these steps to help the rider climb a curb or single step going FORWARD:

1.Stay behind the chair.

2.Face the curb and tilt the chair up on the rear wheels so that the front casters clear the curb or step.

3.Move forward, placing the front casters on the upper level as soon as you are sure they are past the edge.

4.Continue forward until the rear wheels contact the face of the curb or step. Lift and roll the rear wheels to the upper level.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of con- trol may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

D. CLIMBING STAIRS

1.Use at least two attendants to move a chair and rider up stairs.

2.Move the chair and rider BACKWARD up the stairs.

3.The person at the rear is in control. He or she tilts the chair back to its balance point.

4.A second attendant at the front firmly grasps a non-detachable part of the front frame and lifts the chair up and over one stair at a time.

5.The attendants move to the next stair up. Repeat for each stair, until you reach the landing.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of con- trol may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

E. DESCENDING STAIRS
