Invacare 9000 Standard Weight User Manual page 21

Reaching, Leaning and Bending Forward or Sideways
WARNING
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.
DO NOT attempt to reach or lift objects that would
cause you to shift weight to one side of the wheelchair.
Reaching or lifting objects on the side of the wheelchair
can cause the chair to tip over sideways.
DO NOT lean over the tope of the back upholstery to
reach objects behind you, as this may cause the
wheelchair to tip over.
Forward
Position the front casters so that they are extended as far forward as
possible and engage wheel locks.
Backwards
Position wheelchair as close as possible to the desired object. Point front
casters forward to create the longest possible wheelbase. Reach back
only as far as your arm will extend without changing your sitting position.
