OPERATION OF MECHANISM

3. Never transport this chair in the front seat of a vehicle. It may shift and interfere with the
driver. Always secure this chair so that it cannot roll or shift.
C. Steady yourself by firmly grasping a rear wheel, or an armrest
with one hand.
D. Avoid putting pressure on the footrest while you reach. This
may cause the chair to tip forward.
E. Do not lock rear wheels. This creates a tipping point and makes a fall or tip over more
likely.
REACHING OR LEANING
(Example: Dressing or Changing Clothes)
WARNING Reaching or leaning affects the center of balance of your wheelchair.
If you fail to heed these warnings, a fall or tip over may occur and
cause severe injury to you:
1. Avoid reaching or leaning if you must shift your weight to do so. Ask for help or use a
device to extend your reach.
2. Never try to reach an object if you must move forward in your seat to do so. This may
cause the wheelchair to tip forward. Always keep your buttocks in contact with the
backrest.
3. Never reach with both hands. If you do so, you may not be able to catch yourself to prevent
a fall if the chair tips.
4. Never lean backward to reach an object.
5. If you must reach or lean from your chair:
A. Rotate the front casters to the forward position. To do this,
move your chair past the object, then back up alongside it.
Backing up will rotate the casters to their forward position.
B. Place your chair as close as you can to the object you wish to
reach.
