Curb Climber (Optional)
Your power chair may be equipped with a curb climbing
mechanism designed to work with your built-in suspension system
to further stabilize your power chair when climbing curbs or other
obstacles. See figure 12. The curb climber is bolted to the front
of the power chair and is equipped with a spring-loaded foot
that acts as a lever to lift the power chair over obstacles.
As the spring-loaded foot comes into contact with the curb or
obstacle, the momentum of the chair causes it to pivot downward,
lifting the front caster wheels over the obstacle. Once the casters
are clear, the drive wheels gain the leverage they need to maneuver
over the obstacle. When the chair is once again on level ground
and the spring-loaded foot no longer senses an obstacle, it will
return to its normal position and will not drag or scrape the ground.
NOTE: For more information regarding the curb climber
feature, please contact your authorized Pride Provider.
