Toclearobstaclessuchasstepsandcurbs,tiltthebuggyontotherearwheels
(pullitbackwardstogoup;todescend,slowlyloweritforward).
Donotgoupordownstairswithouttheassistanceofanotherperson.Ifdevices
suchasrampsorelevatorsareavailable,pleaseusethem.Iftheyarenot
