SECTION 2—SAFETY/HANDLING OF WHEELCHAIRS

Reaching, Leaning and Bending - Forward

DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat or pick
them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees.
Inasmuch as wheel locks are an option on this wheelchair, (You may order with or
without wheel locks.) transfer to and from the wheelchair in the presence of a quali-
fied healthcare professional to determine individual safety limits. Invacare strongly
recommends ordering the wheel locks as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair
user.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to
FIGURE 2.2.
Position the casters so that they are
extended away from the drive wheels and
engage wheel locks/motor locks/clutches.

Reaching, Leaning and Bending - Backward

WARNING
DO NOT lean over the top of the back
upholstery. This will change your center
of gravity and may cause you to tip over.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to
FIGURE 2.3.
Position wheelchair as close as possible to
the desired object. Position the casters so
that they are extended away from the drive
wheels to create the longest possible
wheelbase. Reach back only as far as your
arm will extend without changing your
sitting position.
