Before transfer:
• The wheelchair should be placed as close as
possible to the destination of the transfer.
• Pull the wheelchair backwards 50-100 mm in
order to make the front castors turn forward.
• Lock the brakes.
• Remove leg support and arm support on the side
of the transfer.

Before transfer to chair:
• Tilt the chair slightly backwards

• Open the back rest angle slightly
• Replace the components when transfer is finished.

of tipping the chair forwards.

8.8 POINT OF BALANCE

seat depth for the user. This will move his/ hers centre
of gravity and balance the wheelchair.

the main wheel in the main wheel bracket.

The Netti AdaptPro main wheel bracket allows for
changing wheel position and thereby changing
the seat height. If required frame extenders bracket
can be mounted to move the main wheel 60 mm
backwards.
For users with forceful involuntary movements it is
possible to mount counterweights on the wheel-
frame front.
The point of balance can also be changed
by adjusting the seat angle and/or angle of
