From The Front; Footrest Holder: Adjusting The Lateral Position 133 Preparing To Get Into The Chair From The Side; Footrests Flipped Up - Otto Bock Skippi Instructions For Use Manual

Operation
1. Bring the power wheelchair as close as possible to the
place where the user is sitting.
2. If the control panel is on the side the user wants to use to
get into/out of the wheelchair, then undo the hook and
loop closures that fix the cable for the control panel to
the wheelchair and remove the control panel.
3. Remove the side panel (see chapter 6.1.3).
4. Remove the footrests if necessary (see chapter 6.1.5).
The user can then slide into the seat from the side. This
process is easier if a transfer board is used.

6.2.2 From the front

Fold both footrests up to get into and out of the chair from
the front. Removing the footrests increases the available
space to get in or out (Fig. 28/29).
The assistance of an attendant or a transfer lifter allows the
user to get into or out of the power wheelchair easily. A rota-
tion plate may be used for support.
