4.1 Transfer

Transfer into the wheelchair is described below. The Avantgarde is designed for persons who
normally move around in the wheelchair independently. Therefore, the independent transfer is
described. Should you require an attendant, the steps described here are carried out corre-
spondingly but with support.
Manoeuvre the wheelchairs so that they are positioned at an angle of approx. 45° degrees to
each other (Fig. 7). Ensure that the wheel locks do not get caught in each other but remain freely
movable. First activate the wheel locks of the wheelchair that is currently in use (Fig. 8).

Then activate the wheel locks of the wheelchair you want to transfer into (Fig. 9). Flip up the
footplate (Fig. 10). Move your feet from the footplate to the floor and move ahead in the wheel-
chair if required (Fig. 11).
Transfer into the second wheelchair. The method illustrated is one possible way to support your-
self (Fig. 12). Find the most suitable path for you by practising with an attendant.
