1.1.1 Leaning forward
Do not extend your chest beyond the armrest (figure 4).
In order to reach an object in front of you, you must lean and
bend down ; therefore, you must use the castors as a tool
(pointing them forward) to maintain stability and balance.An
accurate alignment of the wheels is essential for your safety
(figure 5).

1.1.2 Leaning backward
Position wheelchair as close as possible to the desired object
so that you can simply pick it up by stretching your arm
while sitting in the chair in a normal position (figure 6). In any
case, do not lean backwards because you may cause the chair
to tip (figure 7).
Warning :
The hanging of additional load (back pack or similar items)
onto your chair backposts can affect the rearward stability of
your chair, especially when used in combination with recliner
backrests. This can cause the chair to tip backwards causing
injury. Therefore, Invacare® strongly recommend the use
of anti-tippers (available as an option) when using your
backposts with additional load (back pack or similar items).
