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. Turn both casters parallel to the object you are
transferring onto. Also be certain the wheel locks are engaged to help prevent the
wheels from moving.
When transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the seat. This will pre-
vent damaged upholstery and the possibility of the wheelchair tipping forward.
