Transfers

Transferring onto and off of your Z-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 recommends that you or a trained attendant perform the following tasks before attempting a transfer:

! Turn off the power to the controller.

!Ensure your Z-Chair is not in freewheel mode. See III. “Your

Z-Chair.”

 

! Turn both caster wheels toward the transfer destination to

 

improve Z-Chair stability during transfer.

 

! Make sure both armrests are flipped up or removed from

 

your Z-Chair.

 

! Move the foot rigging out of the way; this will help to keep your

 

feet from getting caught on the foot rigging during the transfer.

 

! Reduce the distance between your Z-Chair and the object you

 

are transferring onto.

Figure 4. IdealTransfer Position

WARNING! Before transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the Z-Chair seat to prevent the Z-Chair from tipping forward during transfer.

WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the Z-Chair armrests and do not use the armrests for weight bearing purposes, such as transfers. Such use may cause the Z-Chair to tip, resulting in a fall from the travel chair and personal injury.

WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the foot riggings. Such use may cause the Z-Chair to tip.

Prescription Drugs/Physical Limitations

Users must exercise care and common sense when operating a Z-Chair. This includes awareness of safety issues when taking prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or when the user has specific physical limitations.

WARNING! Consult your physician if you are taking prescribed or over-the-counter medication or if you have certain physical limitations. Some medications and limitations may impair your ability to operate your Z-Chair in a safe manner.
