4.4. Getting on & off the
wheelchair from the
frontside
• First swing the foot plates up or remove the leg support.
• Put the Pyro start wheelchair as close as possible to the
future sitting accommodation in frontal position.
• If you want to change seats from another wheelchair or
undercarriage, first make sure to use the hand brakes to
secure it.
• Now slip by turning your body on the seating surface.
• Finally you place the foot support back in its initial
position.
Never climb on the foot plates!
Danger of tipping over!
4.5. How to surmount
stairs & high steps
• The helpers must only take hold of firmly mounted
frame sections. (picture 8 and 9)
• While ascending stairs the helper behind the wheelchair
pulls the wheelchair over the step holding it on the
fastened grips.
• The helper who is at the bottom/below takes hold of
the front frame pipes and stabilises the position. While
he is doing so he pushes the rear wheels of the
wheelchair against the steps.
If the stairs are high and if there are stairs with
more than 3 steps, 2 people must carry the wheelchair.
