SECTION 4—SAFETY/HANDLING OF WHEELCHAIRS

Transferring To and From Other Seats

WARNING

ALWAYS turn the wheelchair power Off and engage the Motor Release Levers to prevent the wheels from moving before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair. Also, make sure every precaution is taken to reduce the gap distance by aligning both the front and rear casters parallel with the object you are transferring onto.

CAUTION

When transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the seat. This will pre- vent broken screws, damaged upholstery and the possibility of the wheelchair tip- ping forward.

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 4.4 on page 22.

NOTE: This activity may be performed independently provided you have adequate mobility and upper body strength.

1.Position the wheelchair as close as possible along side the seat to which you are transferring, with the rear casters pointing away from it.

2.After the wheelchair is positioned properly for transfer, verify that the motor release levers are engaged. Refer to Engaging/Disengaging Motor Release Lever on page 51.
