4.2.1 Transferring In
Engage both hand brakes.
Turn the footplates up and swing them to the side.
The user lowers his or her body into the seat using the armrests for support.
Turn the footplates back down, so that the user can place his feet on them.
Release both hand brakes.
CAUTION:
Always ensure that the front casters are in line with the rear wheels and pointing
forwards and that the back of the chair is secure either against a wall or firmly
held by an attendant.
4.2.2 Transferring Out
Make sure that the chair is near your final destination.
Back the chair sufficiently to ensure that the casters are pointing forward, i.e.
in line with the rear wheels and usually with the caster forks pointing forward.
Ensure that, where possible, the rear of the chair is against a wall or, if not, it
must be firmly held by an attendant.
Engage both hand brakes.
Turn the footplates up and swing them to the side.
Slide forwards on the seat.
Place one foot firmly on the ground with the knee at a right angle and the
other foot slightly apart and further back.
Place your hands on the front of the armrests and moving your weight
forward, bring your head and shoulders up over your knees as you push
yourself up.
CAUTION:
Never stand on the footplates when getting into (or out of) the chair. (See
Figure 4.22.)
When getting in and out of the wheelchair please use the hand brakes. The
hand brake is the lever at the side of the wheelchair.
Please ensure that neither the tread on your tires nor the brake block
becomes too worn. If pneumatic tires are fitted, please maintain at the
recommended tire pressure for the same reason.
Please ensure that occupant's fingers do not get caught in the brake.
