O. REACHING OR LEANING
Reaching or leaning affects the center of balance of your chair. If done improperly, a fall or
TO REDUCE THE RISK AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE CHAIR:
1. Never reach or lean if you must shift your weight sideways or rise up off the seat. 2. Never reach or lean if you must move forward in your seat to do so. Always
keep your buttocks in contact with the backrest.
3. Never reach with both hands (you may not be able to catch yourself to prevent a fall if you lose your balance).
4. Never try to pick up an object from the floor by reaching down between your knees.
5. Never put pressure on the footrests while reaching.This may cause the chair to tip if you lean too far.
6. Never reach or lean over the top of the seat back.This may damage the back- rest and cause you to fall.
IF YOU MUST REACH OR LEAN; DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Remember to:
1. Move your chair as close as you can to the object you wish to reach.
2. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible.This makes the chair more stable. Note: To do this: Move your chair past the object you want to reach, then back up alongside it. Backing up will rotate the casters forward.
3. Turn off all power to your chair. If you fail to do so, you may touch the joystick and cause your chair to move when you do not expect it.
4. Firmly grasp a rear wheel or an armrest with one hand.This will help to prevent a fall if the chair tips.
