Reaching, Leaning and Bending Forward

WARNING
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.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to
FIGURE 2.1.
Position the front casters so that they are
extended as far forward as possible and
engage wheel locks.

Reaching, Leaning Backwards

WARNING
DO NOT lean over the top of the back
upholstery to reach objects behind you,
as this may cause the wheelchair to tip
over.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to
FIGURE 2.2.
Position wheelchair as close as possible to
the desired object. Point front casters
forward to create the longest possible
wheelbase. Reach back only as far as your
arm will extend without changing your
sitting position.
