engages.

6.3 Getting in and out of the wheelchair
WARNING!
Risk of overturning
There is a high risk of overturning during the
transfer.
– Only get in and out without assistance if you
are physically able to do so.
– When transferring, position yourself as far
back as possible in the seat. This will prevent
damaged upholstery and the possibility of the
wheelchair tipping forward.
– Make sure that both castors are facing straight
to the front.
WARNING!
Risk of overturning
The wheelchair could tip forwards if you stand
on the footrest.
– Never stand on the footrest when getting in
and out.
CAUTION!
If you release or damage the brakes the
wheelchair could roll away out of control.
– Do not support yourself on the brakes when
getting in and out.
