5.0 Using the seating system

5.1 Getting in and out of the wheelchair
(Transferring)
Sunrise Medical recommend that you consult your healthcare
professional for assistance in developing your personal front or side
transfer technique to best suit your needs and avoid any personal
injury.
DANGER! / WARNING
To prevent a fall:
• Ensure controller is switched off during transfers to avoid
unintentional movement. If you fail to do so you may touch the
joystick and cause your system to move when you do not expect it.
• Ensure that the free wheel switch has been set to 'drive', &
General manual.
• Rotate the front casters so that they point forward.
• Work with your health care professional to learn all safe methods
for transfers.
• Make sure motor brakes are engaged. This keeps the system from
moving when you transfer.
• It is dangerous to transfer on your own. It requires good balance
and agility. Be aware that there is a point during every transfer
when the seating system seat is not below you.
• Learn how to position your body and how to support yourself
during a transfer.
• Have someone help you until you are sure you can do a safe
transfer on your own.
• Do not stand on the footrest. Putting your full weight on the
footrest may lead to wheelchair damage and to hazardous
situations, including the wheelchair tipping up.
• Make sure your feet do not "hang up" or get caught in the space
between the footrests.
