From The Front; Preparing To Get Into The Chair From The Side; Footrests Flipped Up - Otto Bock Skippi plus Instructions For Use Manual

Operation
1. Bring the power wheelchair as close as possible to the
place where the user is sitting.
2. If the control panel is on the side the user wants to use
to get into/out of the wheelchair, then undo the hook
and loop closures that fix the cable for the control panel
to the wheelchair and remove the control panel.
3. Remove the side panel (see chapter 6.1.3).
4. Remove the footrests if necessary (see chapter 6.1.5).
The user can then slide into the seat from the side. This
process is easier if a transfer board is used.

6.2.2 From the front

Fold both footrests up to get into and out of the chair from
the front. Removing the footrests increases the available
space to get in or out (Fig. 28/29).
The assistance of an attendant or a transfer lifter allows the
user to get into or out of the power wheelchair easily. A rota-
tion plate may be used for support.
