FOR ATTENDANT: TILTING

Tilting the Transport Chair backward is generally re- quired to negotiate such obstacles as ramps, inclines, curbs, stairs and door sills. Tilting should only be performed by an attendant. To tilt the Transport Chair backward:

1.Grasp the push handles securely and ensure that the hand grips are firmly attached.

2.Ensure that the user's feet are situated flat on the footplates and that arms, hands and fingers are clear of the wheels and any other components.

3.Advise the user, before tilting the Transport Chair backward, what you intend to do and remind the user to lean back.

4.Place one foot on the tipping lever and apply down- ward force until the Transport Chair is tilted back enough to overcome the obstacle.

5.Lower the front end slowly.

RAMPS AND INCLINES

WARNING: During descent, the footplates' lowest point should be no closer to the ground than 2 1/2 inches to permit proper clearance.

WARNING: Do not attempt any incline or decline of more than 6 degrees (10% grade, or one foot of rise or fall per ten feet of ramp length).

WARNING: Do not use wheel locks to slow your descent. Attempting to use wheel locks is likely to result in accidental locking that could cause the Transport Chair to stop abruptly, sud- denly pitch forward, or tip sideways.

WARNING: Avoid changing direction while descending a ramp or incline, as this could cause instability.

Ramps and inclines should only be negotiated with the assistance of an attendant. To atten- dant: Practice with a healthcare professional first before attempting ramps or inclines. Always inspect the ramp for hazards such as holes, slippery or uneven surfaces, etc. before starting up or down. If you can not see the entire ramp, ask someone to inspect it for you.

CURBS AND STEPS

WARNING: Never attempt to negotiate curbs or steps in your Transport Chair without the assis- tance of an attendant.

WARNING: Never attempt to negotiate stairs or escalators in your Transport Chair under any circumstances.

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

Curbs and steps should only be negotiated with the assistance of an attendant. The following are suggestions only for curb negotiation. It is important for you to develop your own safe tech- nique that is best suited to your abilities.
