Getting in/transferring into the mobility base for seating shells with seating shell/seating solution is described
below.
The mobility base for seating shells is designed for people who normally cannot get into it by themselves. Getting
in/transferring is therefore described with the support of an attendant.
1) Bring the mobility base for seating shells with seating shell/seating solution as close as possible to the
chair/bed.
2) Engage the wheel locks (knee lever wheel locks or drum brakes) on both sides of the mobility base for seating
shells (see fig. 5, see fig. 24; see Page 25).
3) Optional: Fold up the foot plates and swing them away if necessary (see fig. 7, see fig. 8; see Page 27).
4) Bring the seat into a horizontal position (see Page 19).
5) Carry out the transfer into the mobility base for seating shells with seating shell/seating solution from the front:
→ INFORMATION: Find the most suitable method by practising with the user. Use a transfer aid (lift­
er, transfer board) if possible.
→ If the user does not meet the physical prerequisites due to their disability, support should be provided by
an attendant.
→ After gripping frame components or the arm support, the user may be able to pull him or herself onto the
seat independently or support the transfer.
