TRANSFER - Work with a qualified professional before you transfer on your own as it is dangerous. Engage rear wheel locks before you transfer and the chair should be on a smooth, stable and level area. Move your chair as close as you can to the seat you are transferring to, rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible, make sure armrests are out of the way and remove or swing footrests out of the way if you can. Do not stand or apply weight to footrest.
