SECTION 3—SAFETY/HANDLING OF WHEELCHAIRS

Part No 1143190 27 TDX™ SP

Transferring To and From Other Seats

ƽ WARNING

ALWAYS turn the wheelchair power OFF and engage the motor locks/clutches to

prevent the wheels from moving before attempting to transfer in or out of the

wheelchair. Also make sure every precaution is taken to reduce the gap distance.

Align both casters parallel with the object you are transferring onto.

CAUTION

When transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the seat. This will

prevent broken screws, damaged upholstery and the possibility of the wheelchair

tipping forward.
