Transferring
You can transfer either forward, left or right from the chair. The armrests are hinged in the back and can swing up out of the way for transfers. Press “buttons” at front of armrest bar (on either side) to release armrest (see figures 5 and 6).
Assisted transfer; for a wheelchair user who cannot bear any weight on their legs, and cannot transfer independently, the use of an appropriate hoist is recommended.
Any carrier who assists in physically transferring the wheelchair user must be properly trained in modern moving and handling techniques.
