Reaching, Bending - Backward
Position wheelchair as close as possible to the desired object. Position
the casters so that they are extended away from the drive wheels to
create the longest possible wheelbase, engage the motor locks and turn
power off. Reach back only as far as your arm will extend without
changing your sitting position.

WARNING
DO NOT lean over the top of the back
upholstery. This will change your center of gravity
and may cause you to tip over.
Proper positioning is essential for your safety.
When reaching, leaning, bending or bending
backward, it is important to use the casters as a
tool to maintain stability and balance.
For this procedure, refer to FIGURE3.
