Part No 1118364 27 Spree XT

Transferring To and From Other Seats

ƽ WARNING

BEFORE attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should

be taken to reduce the gap distance. Align both casters parallel with 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

prevent damaged upholstery and the possibility of the wheelchair tipping forward.
