Transfers

Transferring onto and off of your power chair requires a good sense of balance. Always have an attendant or healthcare professional present while learning to properly transfer yourself.

To eliminate the possibility of injury, Pride recom- mends that you or a trained attendant perform the following tasks before attempting a transfer:

! Turn off the power to the controller . See VII. “Op- eration.”

! Ensure your power chair is not in freewheel mode. See III. “Your Power Chair.”

! Turn the front caster wheels toward the transfer destination to improve power chair stability dur- ing transfer.

! Make sure both armrests are flipped up or re- moved from your power chair.

! Flip up the foot platform or move the leg rests aside; this will help to keep your feet from getting caught on the foot rigging during the transfer.

Figure 4. Ideal Transfer Position

! Reduce the distance between your power chair and the object you are transferring onto.

WARNING! Before transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the power chair seat to prevent the power chair from tipping forward during transfer and causing injury.

WARNING! Avoid using your armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause the power chair to tip and cause personal injury.

WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the footrest. Such use may cause the power chair to tip and cause personal injury.

Positioning Belts

Your authorized Pride Provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for determining your requirement for a positioning belt in order to operate your power chair safely.

WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your power chair, make sure it is fastened securely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from the power chair.

WARNING! The positioning belt is not designed for use as a seat belt in a motor vehicle. Nor is your power chair suitable for use as a seat in any vehicle. Anyone traveling in a vehicle should be properly belted into seats approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
