Transferring to and from the chair
The Canto Nxt is a wheelchair for users with various
handicaps. Transfers from the wheelchair to, for
example, a bed, toilet or shower and vice versa can
be made in various ways. The extent to which the
wheelchair user is able to cooperate determines how
he or she should be lifted. Both active and passive
transfers are possible with the Canto Nxt, with the aid
of the care provider or using a lift.
N.B.:
always engage the brake before transferring
to or from the chair.
Forwards transfer
Fold up the footrests or fold away the legrests.
n
Set the chair angle at a negative value, if
n
necessary.
Sideways transfer

Tip:
during a transfer from a passive lift into a Canto
Nxt, first tip the wheelchair without user so that the
user can be optimally positioned in the chair.
