Transferring To and From Other Seats.

WARNING
Before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance.
Turn both casters parallel to the object you are transferring onto. Also be certain the wheel locks are engaged to help
prevent the wheels from moving.
CAUTION
When transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the seat. This will prevent damaged upholstery and the
possibility of the wheelchair tipping forward

This activity may be performed independently provided you have adequate mobility and upper body strength
1. Position the wheelchair as close as possible along side the seat to
which you are transferring, with the front casters parallel to it.
2. Engage wheel locks.
3. Remove or flip back armrests.
4. Shift body weight into seat with transfer.
During independent transfer, little or no seat

platform will be beneath you. Use a transfer board
if at all possible.
