Unfolding.
1. Open the wheelchair by grasping the back cane of the wheelchair closest to you.
2. Tilt the wheelchair towards you (raising the opposite wheel and caster off the ground/
floor).
3. Push downward on the TOP of the seat rail closest to you where the seat upholstery is
attached until the wheelchair is fully open.

TRANSFERRING TO AND FROM OTHER SEATS
WARNING
BEFORE attempting to transfer in or
out of the wheelchair, every precau-
tion should be taken to reduce the
gap distance. Turn both casters paral-
lel to the object you are transferring
onto. Also be certain the wheel locks
are engaged to help prevent the
wheels from moving.
CAUTION
When transferring, position yourself
as far back as possible in the seat. This
will help prevent broken screws,
damaged upholstery and the possibil-
ity of the wheelchair tipping forward.
NOTE: This activity may be performed independently provided you have adequate mobility and upper
body strength.
Position the wheelchair as close as possible along side the seat to which you are transferring,
with the front casters pointing parallel to it. Remove or flip up the armrest. Engage wheel
locks. Shift body weight into seat with transfer.
During independent transfer, little or no seat platform will be beneath you. Use a transfer
board if at all possible.
