Transferring To and From Other Seats

ALWAYS turn the wheelchair power off and engage the motor release levers to
prevent the wheels from moving before attempting to transfer in or of the wheelchair.
Also, make sure every precaution is taken to reduce the gap distance by aligning both
the front and rear casters parallel with the object you are transferring onto.
When transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the seat. This will
prevent broken screws, damaged upholstery and the possibility of the wheelchair
tipping forward.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to
FIGURE 3.3.
NOTE: 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 rear
casters pointing away from it.
