It is important for the attendant to be familiar with proper
assisting procedures in any situation that requires the use
of the transport chair. Safety is the key consideration.
Consult your physician, nurse or physical therapist to
determine methods most suitable for your individual
needs and abilities.
1.
Before entering or leaving the chair, engage the dual
wheel locks against the tires on both rear wheels.
Make sure the front casters are in the forward position
before transferring into or out of the chair.
2.
Always fasten the safety belt.
3.
Do not move forward on the seat while leaning forward
out of the chair. If it is absolutely necessary to do so,
make sure the front casters are in the forward position.
If you are picking an object up from the floor, go past
the object, and then go backwards. The casters will
then swing to the forward position.
