cURBS ANd StepS

Curbs, steps and stairways are dangerous obstacles that confront the wheelchair user. When you encounter curbs, find a way around, or use the ramps now available in most locations. If you encounter steps and there is no ramp available, avoid the steps by utilizing the disabled designated elevators now required in most locations.

WARNING: Never attempt to negotiate steps, stairs or escalators in your Advantage Recliner.
