SECTION 3—SAFETY/HANDLING OF WHEELCHAIRS
Reaching, Bending - Backward
WARNING
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery. This will change your center of gravity and may cause you to tip over.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to
FIGURE 3.3.
Position wheelchair as close as possible to the desired object. Position the casters so that they are extended away from the drive wheels to create the longest possible
wheelbase. Reach back only as far as your FIGURE 3.3 Reaching, Bending - Backward arm will extend without changing your
sitting position.
