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.

prevent broken screws, damaged upholstery and the possibility of the wheelchair
