the kerb first (G / H).
2. Going down: Lean forward (G) to move your centre of gravity to the
front.
Going up: Lean backward (H) to move your centre of gravity to the
back.
3. The attendant pulls the wheelchair gently from/on the kerb.

2. The attendant moves the wheelchair forward approaching the kerb.
3. Lean backwards to reduce the pressure on the front wheels.

wheels lifted till they have passed the kerb rim.
5. The second attendant grabs the front of the frame and moves backwards while
pulling the rear wheels down the kerb.
6. The first attendant releases the pressure on the handles and tip cap to put the
front wheels on the ground.
Going up:
1. Remove the footrests.
2. The first attendant reverses the wheelchair so that rear wheels approach the kerb
