DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees.
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects behind you, as this may cause the wheelchair to tip

Position the front casters so that they are extended as far forward as
possible and engage wheel locks.

Position wheelchair as close as possible to the desired object. Point
front casters forward to create the longest possible wheelbase. Reach
