TRANSFERRING INTO/OUT OF THE HANDCYCLE
(FIGURE 1)
WARNING
Before attempting to transfer IN or OUT of the handcycle, every precaution
should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Position the XLT on level
ground and as close as possible to the object you are transferring INTO or
OUT of.
The object you are transferring INTO or OUT of MUST also be secured
before attempting any transfer.
EXCELERATOR XLT, XLT JR. AND XLT GOLD MODELS ONLY - The
parking brake of the handcycle MUST be engaged before attempting any
transfer.
EXCELERATOR XLT PRO MODEL ONLY - This model may be ordered
with or without a parking brake. If ordered without a parking brake, the
handcycle must be positioned securely against a stable object before any
transfer is attempted. If ordered with the optional parking brake, the parking
brake MUST be engaged before attempting any transfer.
CAUTION
When transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the seat.
This will prevent damage to the upholstery.
NOTE: This activity may be performed independently provided you have adequate mobility and
upper body strength.
1. Position the handcycle on level ground and as close as possible along side the object
to/from which you are transferring.
2. If possible, position the handcycle at a 45° angle to the object to/from which you are
transferring as shown in FIGURE 1.
3. If installed, apply the parking brake on the handcycle.
4. Position the hand crank handles a far forward as possible as shown in FIGURE 1.
This will create more room to transfer.
NOTE: If necessary, lift the front wheel off the ground and rotate the front tire.
5. Secure object that you are transferring into or out of. Apply wheel locks (if installed)
if the object is a wheelchair.
NOTE: During independent transfer, little or no seat platform will be beneath you. Although it may
be difficult to wedge the transfer board between the wheelchair seat and the handcycle seat, use
a transfer board if necessary.
NOTE: Refer to STEPS A-F in FIGURE 1 for details regarding transfer to/from a wheelchair.
6. Shift body weight onto object while transferring.
7. Lift and place LEFT leg past front frame across seat and over center tube.
