Remove the packaging and check all parts carefully.

IN USE

Position the transfer surfaces next to each other, at
right angles as close as possible.
Figure 1: M01175 in use example
Place the transfer board over the gap between
the two surfaces (refer to fi gure 1). Ensure it is
suffi ciently supported on both sides, a minimum of
150mm overlap.
The user can now use the board to manoeuvre from
one surface to the other.
Note: Take care to ensure fi ngers do not become
trapped under the board.
Where possible the user should push down with
their hands during transfer to lift themselves slightly
to avoid rubbing on the board. This is particularly
important where there is a loss of sensation.
Assistance from a carer may be required in cases of
severe limitation.
