Transfer Activities

 WARNING: Always ensure that the Transport Chair is on a stable, level surface and 

engage the wheel locks before transfer.

 WARNING: Do not step on the footplates; this could cause the Transport Chair to tip. 

Fold them up, and either detach them, or swing them aside.

 WARNING: There is a critical moment when there is little or no seat platform beneath 

you. Take every precaution to reduce this unsupported distance before you attempt 
transfer.

Transferring into or out of a Transport Chair is a very difficult maneuver; exercise 
extreme care when transferring, and never transfer without the aid of an attendant. 
Consult your physician, nurse, or physical therapist for assistance in developing your 
individual technique. Make sure that the Transport Chair is stabilized, and will not 
move or slide during the transfer. Take extra precaution to prevent tipping. Use good 
body mechanics to prevent personal injury.

FOR ATTENDANT: TILTING

Tilting the Transport Chair backward is gener-
ally required to negotiate such obstacles as 
ramps, inclines, curbs, stairs and door sills. Tilt-
ing should only be performed by an attendant. 
To tilt the Transport Chair backward:

1.  If equipped with anti-tippers, remove them 

temporarily.

2.  Grasp the push handles securely and ensure 

that the hand grips are firmly attached.

3.  Ensure that the user's feet are situated flat 

on the footplates and that arms, hands and 
fingers are clear of the wheels and any other 
components.

4.  Advise the user, before tilting the Transport 

Chair backward, what you intend to do and 
remind the user to lean back.

5.  Place one foot on the tipping lever and apply 

downward force until the Transport Chair is 
tilted back enough to overcome the obstacle.

6.  Lower the front end slowly.

7.  If you have removed anti-tippers, replace them now.
