2.6 A Note to Wheelchair Assistants

When assistance to the wheelchair user is required, remember to
use good body mechanics. Keep your back straight and bend your
knees whenever tilting the wheelchair or traversing curbs, or other
impediments.
WARNING!
– DO NOT attempt to lift a wheelchair by lifting any
removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of
any removable (detachable) parts of a wheelchair
may result in injury to the user or damage to the
wheelchair.
Also, be aware of detachable parts. These must NEVER be used
for lifting supports or to move the wheelchair, as they may be
inadvertently released, resulting in possible injury to the user and/or
assistant.
When learning assistance techniques for the wheelchair, have an
experienced assistant help you before attempting it alone.
