SECTION 9—SAFETY/HANDLING OF WHEELCHAIRS

Reaching, Leaning and Bending - Forward

DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat or pick

them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees.

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 9.4.

Position the front AND rear casters so that they are extended as far forward as possible

and engage Motor Release Levers.

FIGURE 9.4 Reaching, Leaning and Bending - Forward

DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery. This will change your center of

gravity and may cause you to tip over.

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 9.5.

Position wheelchair as close as possible to the desired object. Point the front AND rear

casters rearward to create the longest possible wheelbase. Reach back only as far as your

arm will extend without changing your sitting position.
