7. MANOEUVRING
7.1
GENERAL TECHNIQUES
The weight and balance of the chair influences
the manoeuvring qualities of the wheelchair. The
weight, size and sitting position of the user are also
influencing factors. The position of the wheels will
in addition influence the manoeuvring qualities. The
more weight placed over the main wheels, the easier
it is to manoeuvre. If heavy weight is placed over the
front castors, the chair will be heavy to manoeuvre.
Companion:
If the user is left alone in the wheelchair,
always lock the brakes and check that
the anti-tips are turned down.
Parking:
Increase the underneath support of the
wheelchair by moving the chair about
10 cm rearwards making the front castors
turn forward.
