WARNING
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending,
reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence
of a qualified healthcare professional BEFORE attempting active use of the
wheelchair.
Many activities require the wheelchair owner to reach, bend and transfer in and out of the
wheelchair. These movements will cause a change to the normal balance, the center of
gravity, and the weight distribution of the wheelchair.
Proper positioning is essential for your safety. When reaching, leaning, or bending forward, it
is important to use the front casters as a tool to maintain stability and balance.
