REACHING - BENDING FORWARD
• Ensure power is OFF. Do not lean your body forward out of the powered wheelchair further than the
length of the armrests.
• Do not attempt to pick up objects from the floor by bending forward and reaching between your knees.
• Do not attempt to reach objects by sliding forward to the edge of the powered wheelchair seat.
REACHING - BENDING BACKWARDS
• Again ensure power is switched OFF.
• Do not reach back any further than your arm will extend without changing your sitting position.
• Do not lean over the top of the backrest as it will shift the centre of gravity, risking tipping over.
• Do not hang heavy loads or objects on the backrest. They may make the powered wheelchair unstable,
especially on an incline.
