upright during normal use, so long as you do not move your centre of gravity outside the normal seating position.

REACHING - BENDING FORWARD

•Ensure power is OFF. DO NOT lean your body forward out of the powerchair further than the length of the armrests.

•DO NOT attempt to pick up objects from the floor by bending forward and reaching between your knees.

•DO NOT attempt to reach objects by sliding forward to the edge of the Powerchair seat.

REACHING - BENDING BACKWARDS

•Again ensure power is switched OFF.

•DO NOT reach back any further than your arm will extend without changing your sitting position.

•DO NOT lean over the top of the backrest as it will shift the centre of gravity, risking tipping over.

•DO NOT hang heavy loads or objects on the backrest. They may make the powerchair unstable, especially on an incline.
