1.5 - Transferring to other
seats
It is possible to move from and to a
manually propelled chair if the
following guidelines are followed.
INVACARE does not recommend
any particular method for
transferring: This is the
responsibility of a medical adviser
who should consider your level of
disability and type of wheelchair .
When transferring, either to get out of
or return to your wheelchair, make
sure:
That the gap between the two seats is as
small as possible. (Figures 10 and 11)
That the manual brakes on the rear
wheels are on to prevent the wheels
moving. (Figure 12)
Turn both castors towards the seat to
which you wish to move. Lift up the
footplates .
Do not stand on the footplates.
