Going down a step with a helper
1. Bring the wheelchair to the edge of the step and grab the push handle
2. The helper firmly grabs the push handles, places a foot on the anti-tip device (if installed) and inclines the
wheelchair backwards, so that the front wheels lift from the ground.
3. The helper keeps the wheelchair in this position, pushes it carefully over the step and inclines the wheelchair
forwards so that the front wheels are touch the ground again.
Going down a step without a helper
1. Bring the wheelchair to the edge of the step, lift the front wheels and balance.
2. Let the back wheels slowly slide along the edge. Firmly grasp with both hands the handrims and hold on until the
front wheels are touching the ground again.
