Transfers

 

Transferring onto and off of your power chair requires a good

 

sense of balance.Always have an attendant or healthcare pro-

 

fessional 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 See VII. “Opera-

 

tion.”

 

! Ensure your power chair is not in freewheel mode. See

 

III. “Your Power Chair.”

 

! Turn both caster wheels toward the transfer destination

 

to improve power chair stability during transfer.

 

! Make sure both armrests are flipped up or removed from

 

your power chair.

 

! Flip up the foot platform or move the leg rests aside; this

 

will help to keep your feet from getting caught on the foot

 

rigging during the transfer.

 

! Reduce the distance between your power chair and t h e

 

object you are transferring onto.

WARNING! Before transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the power chair seat to prevent the power chair from tipping forward during transfer and causing injury.

WARNING! Avoid using your armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause the power chair to tip and cause personal injury.

WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the foot riggings. Such use may cause the power chair to tip and cause personal injury.

Motor Vehicle Transport

Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your power chair while traveling in a motor vehicle. The power chair should be stowed in the trunk of a car or in the back of a truck or van with batteries removed and properly secured.

WARNING! Do not sit on your power chair while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injury and/or property damage may result.

WARNING! Always be sure your power chair and its batteries are properly secured when it is being transported. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your power chair.

Stairs and Escalators

Power chairs are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.

WARNING! Never use your power chair to negotiate steps or escalators. You may cause injury to yourself and to others and/or damage your power chair.
