6.3 Getting in and transferring
CAUTION
Incorrect handling when getting in
Risk of falling, tipping or rolling away due to incorrect handling
Activate the wheel lock each time before you get into or out of or transfer to or from the wheelchair.
Always get into the wheelchair from the side, where possible.
Never step on the footrests/footplates when getting in and out.
Do not support yourself on the wheel lock when getting in/out.
CAUTION
Incorrect caster wheel position when leaning forward in the wheelchair
Tipping over, falling due to incorrect caster wheel positioning
Prior to activities that require you to bend forward in the wheelchair (e.g.tying your shoes), maximise the sta
bility of the wheelchair.
In order to do so, push the wheelchair backwards until the caster wheels turn forward.
Getting into the wheelchair in combination with transfer from one wheelchair to another is described below.
The wheelchair is designed for persons who normally move around independently in a wheelchair. Hence inde
pendently getting in/transferring is described here. If an assistant is required, the steps described here should be
performed analogously with support:
1) Manoeuvre the wheelchairs such that they are positioned at an angle of approx. 45° to each other (see fig.8).
Ensure that the wheel locks do not become entangled.
2) Engage the wheel locks of the wheelchair currently in use.
3) On the other wheelchair, engage the wheel locks and fold up the footrest (footplate) (see fig.9).
4) Move your feet from the footplate onto the floor and move forward in the wheelchair (see fig.10).
5) Make the transfer to the second wheelchair (see fig.11). The method illustrated is one possible way to support
yourself.
INFORMATION Find the most suitable method for yourself by practicing with the help of an assistant.
6) Finally fold the footplate down, place your feet on the footrest and release the wheel locks.
The wheelchair can now be used.
