6 Use of the wheelchair
6.1 Getting in and out of the
wheelchair
Getting in and out of a wheelchair is
sometimes called making a transfer.
Be careful! Before a transfer is made,
ensure that:
•
The controller has been switched off
CONTROLLER
•
That the freewheel switch has been
switched to ‘drive’ (ch. 6.6)
•
Do not stand on the foot-plates.
These have not been designed to
accommodate the full weight of a
person. In addition, this could cause
the wheelchair to topple over.
Forward transfer
Flip the footplates up (fig 6.1).
Swing the calf plates to the side (if
applicable) (fig 6.1).
If possible, swing the legrests to the side
(fig 6.2).
Seat yourself in the chair.
Sideways transfer
Push the lever to the back to unlock the
armrest (fig 6.3).
Take the armrest out (fig 6.3).
Seat yourself in the chair.
