1 GF0500090RevB07 • EJ777-1 Transport Chair
For attendant: curb descent
1. If equipped with anti-tippers, remove them tem-
porarily.
2. Ensure that the hand grips are securely fastened
and do not turn or slip.
3. Stand behind the transport chair, holding the
hand grips, with your back to the curb.
4. Look over your shoulder and step down carefully.
5. Hold the hand grips tightly and pull the transport
chair until the rear wheels reach the curb edge.
6. Slowly roll the rear wheels down onto the lower
level.
7. After the wheels are safely on the lower level, ad-
vise the user that you will be tilting backward and
remind the user to lean back.
8. Tilt the transport chair back to its balance point;
this will lift the front casters off the curb. Take
several small steps backward until the front cast-
ers have cleared the curb.
9. Turn the transport chair around, place one foot on the tipping lever, and gradually
lower the front casters to the ground.
10. If you have removed anti-tippers, replace them now.
