TDX WHEELCHAIRS
MINIMIZE
GAP
DISTANCE
TRANSFERRING TO AND FROM OTHER SEATS
WARNING
ALWAYS turn the wheelchair power OFF and engage the motor locks/
clutches to prevent the wheels from moving BEFORE attempting to transfer
in or out of the wheelchair. Also make sure every precaution is taken to
reduce the gap distance. Align all casters toward the object you are trans-
ferring onto.
CAUTION
When transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the seat. This
will prevent broken screws, damaged upholstery and the possibility of the
wheelchair tipping forward.
NOTE: Adequate mobility and upper body strength is required to perform this activity indepen-
dently. Use of an assistant is strongly recommended.
1. Position the wheelchair as close as possible along side the seat to which you are
transferring, with the casters aligned parallel with the object.
2. Engage motor locks. Refer to DISENGAGING/ENGAGING MOTOR LOCK LE-
VERS in SECTION 8 of this manual. Shift body weight into seat with transfer.
3. During independent transfer, little or no seat platform will be beneath you. Use a
transfer board if at all possible.
