Transferring in:
1
Ensure that the Ypush is set up correctly - see pages 22-23, on a level
surface, the brakes are on, with the brake handles UP. See page 14.
2
Ensure the ignition key is off, the Battery Charger is disconnected, and
both armrests are down.
3
Try to push the wheelchair, check both the brakes are on and check that
both the rear wheels are locked.
4
First, pivot the leg rests up,
67
fold the footrests in, and pivot the whole
assembly up and then around to the side of the chair
68
This allows the
occupant as much space as possible in front of the seat to get on and off.
5
The occupant, with their back to the chair, can steady themselves using
the armrests, and gently lower themselves down onto the seat.
6
When the occupant is sitting comfortably, the attendant can swivel the
footrests back down into position to support their feet,
69
locking them to
the required height by adjusting the position of the spring buttons in the
green circle.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the footrest brackets lock securely into the
chassis. Failure to lock in properly could result in injury.
7
Fit the seatbelt and adjust accordingly.
70
The belt can be adjusted at
each side to achieve the correct fit. Make sure that the occupant is sitting
fully back in the seat and then clip the two halves of the belt together.
Adjust length as necessary. To release the belt press the RED release button.
Transferring Out:
When transferring out of the Ypush, always ensure that it is on a level
surface, the brakes are applied, and reverse the above instructions.
OCCUPANT:
Place your feet on the ground, steady yourself on the armrests and
carefully stand up. If you feel uncertain about getting out, ask for assistance.

Warning!
If the occupant feels uncertain about getting in or out of
the Ypush, please always ask an attendant for help and advice.
Warning!
Always fit and adjust the seatbelt correctly whenever an
occupant is seated. Never allow the seat belt to hang free as the risk of
entanglement could cause injury.
