II. SAFETY

Figure 4. Ideal Transfer Position

Transfers

Transferring onto and off of your power chair requires a

good sense of balance. Always have an attendant or health-

care professional present while learning to properly trans-

fer yourself.

To eliminate the possibility of injury, Pride recommends that

you or a trained attendant perform the following tasks be-

fore attempting a transfer:

 Turn off the power to the controller.

 Ensure your power chair is not in freewheel mode. See

III. “Your Power Chair.”

 Turn the caster wheels toward the transfer destination

to improve power chair stability during transfer.

 Make sure both armrests are flipped up or removed

from your power chair.

 Flip up the foot platform or move the leg rests aside;

this will help to keep your feet from getting caught on

the front rigging during the transfer.

 Reduce the distance between your power chair and the

object you are transferring onto.

WARNING! Before transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the power chair seat

to prevent the power chair from tipping forward during transfer.

WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the power chair armrests and do not use the armrests

for weight bearing purposes, such as transfers. Such use may cause the power chair to tip, resulting

in a fall from the power chair.

WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the front riggings. Such use may cause the power

chair to tip.

User Positioning

Pride recommends that all users be seated in an upright position with their pelvis positioned as far rearward as possible in the

power chair seat. All users need to discuss pelvic positioning with their authorized Pride Provider, therapist(s), or healthcare

professional to determine appropriate pelvic position when seated on the power chair based on the user’s individual medical

needs.

Prescription Drugs/Physical Limitations

Users must exercise care and common sense when operating a power chair. This includes awareness of safety issues when

taking prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or when the user has specific physical limitations.

WARNING! Consult your physician if you are taking prescribed or over-the-counter medication or

if you have certain physical limitations. Some medications and limitations may impair your ability

to operate your power chair in a safe manner.
