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.
For this procedure, refer to FIGURE4.
Adequate mobility and upper body strength is
required to perform this activity independently.
During independent transfer, little or no seat
platform will be beneath you. Use a transfer board
if at all possible.
