Leaning forwards
(see fig. 9)
Ensure that the front wheels of the chair are pointing
forwards. In order to do this, move the chair forwards and
then backwards.
Put on the brakes in order to prevent the chair from moving
suddenly during the movement.
Lean forward in such a way that your upper body does not
move beyond the front wheels at any time. Moving the weight
of the body excessively forward may cause the wheelchair to
tip up onto the front wheels and overbalance possibly
causing harm both to the chair and the occupant.
In order to ensure greater stability the occupant should hold
on to the wheelchair with his or her free hand.
Do not lean too far forward; you may fall out of the
chair
Do not move forward by sliding your pelvis across the
seat cushion in order to reach objects that are too far
away. The chair could overbalance.
Leaning backwards
Ensure that the front wheels of the chair are pointing forwards.
In order to do this, move the wheelchair forwards and then
backwards.
Do not engage the brakes.
Lean backwards without changing your sitting position.
