W. CURBS & SINGLE STEPS
1. Your chair/scooter is not designed to drive up or down a curb or step more than 1/2
inch high. Doing so may:
• Result in a fall or tip-over.
• Damage the frame, wheels, axles or other chair/scooter parts, or loosen fasteners.
2. To prevent a fall or tip-over, use wheelchair/scooter access ramps or have someone
help you.
3. If you must climb or descend a curb or step alone do so at your own risk and use
extreme care.
• Go as straight up or straight down as you can. Never turn or climb or descend at
an angle as a fall or tip-over is likely.
• Proceed slowly, at a steady speed.
4. Make sure that persons who assist you review the “Tips For Attendants” and heed all
warnings.
5. Avoid driving along curb edges and drop-offs. A minimum distance from the edge of
18” is recommended.

Doing so is likely to cause a fall or tip-over.
Y. ESCALATORS
