Transferring Into/Out of the Handcycle
ƽ WARNING
Before attempting to transfer in or out of the handcycle, every precaution should be
taken to reduce the gap distance. Position the XLT on level ground and as close as
possible to the object you are transferring into or out of.
The object you are transferring into or out of MUST also be secured before
attempting any transfer.
TOP END XLT, XLT JR. AND XLT GOLD MODELS ONLY - The parking brake of
the handcycle MUST be engaged before attempting any transfer.
TOP END XLT PRO MODEL ONLY - This model may be ordered with or without a
parking brake. If ordered without a parking brake, the handcycle MUST be
positioned securely against a stable object before any transfer is attempted. If
ordered with the optional parking brake, the parking brake MUST be engaged
before attempting any transfer.
CAUTION
When transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the seat. This will pre-
vent damage to the upholstery.
