Transferring To and From Other Seats

SECTION 2—SAFETY/HANDLING OF WHEELCHAIRS

WARNING

ALWAYS turn the wheelchair power Off and engage the motor locks/clutches 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. Align both 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 2.5.

NOTE: Adequate mobility and upper body strength is required to perform this activity independently.

1.Position the wheelchair as close as possible along side the seat to which you are transferring, with the casters aligned parallel with the object.

2.Engage motor locks. Refer to Disengaging/Engaging Motor Lock Levers on page 65.

3.Shift body weight into seat with transfer.

NOTE: During independent transfer, little or no seat platform will be beneath you. Use a transfer board if at all possible.
