METHOD 2 - WHEELCHAIR
WITHOUT STEP TUBE

GENERAL GUIDELINES

PROCEDURE 1

 

 

Roll the wheelchair forward and slowly lower the front of the wheelchair in one continuous movement onto the sidewalk. Push the wheelchair forward until the rear wheels roll up and over the curb.

TIPPING - CURBS: METHOD 2 - WHEELCHAIR WITHOUT STEP TUBE

This method requires two (2) assistants. The second assistant should be positioned at the front of the wheelchair lifting upward on a non-remov-

able (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.

WARNING

When lowering the front casters of the wheelchair, DO NOT let the wheelchair drop the last few inches to the ground. This could result in injury to the occupant and/or damage to the wheelchair.

Roll the wheelchair backward and SLOWLY lower the wheelchair in one continuous movement.

STAIRWAYS

WARNING

ALWAYS wear your seat/chest positioning strap. Inasmuch as the SEAT/CHEST POSITIONING STRAP is an option on this wheelchair (You may order with or without the Seat/Chest Positioning Strap), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the Seat/Chest Positioning Strap as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.

DO NOT attempt to lift a wheelchair by lifting on any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of a wheelchair may result in injury to the user or damage to the wheelchair.

DO NOT use the spreader bar for lifting or transporting the wheelchair. DO NOT use the spreader bar as a weight bearing support .

Extreme caution is advised when it is necessary to move an occupied wheelchair up or down the stairs. Invacare recommends that, if possible, the user be re- moved from the wheelchair prior to moving. Invacare recommends using two (2) assistants and making thorough preparations. Make sure to use ONLY secure, non-detachable parts for hand-held supports.

RECLINER OPTION ONLY - ALWAYS return the back to the upright position before lifting the wheelchair.
