CONVAID USER’S GUIDE
WARNING: When transferring the user from the chair:
• Work with your health care advisor to learn safe transfer and lifting
methods.
• Have someone help you until you know how to do a safe transfer of the
dependent on your own.
• Move your user’s mobility device as close as you can to the location you are
transferring to.
• Rotate the front casters until they point forward.
• Engage the parking brake before you transfer. This keeps the device stable
during the transfer.
• When transferring a user into the device, make sure they are placed as far
back onto the seat surface as possible. This will reduce the risk that the
mobility device will tip over and/or move away from you.
WARNING: If the user reaches or leans it will affect the center of balance of the
mobility device. This may cause a fall or tip over.
WARNING: NEVER allow the user to reach or lean if they must rise up off
their seat for the action.
WARNING: If the user must reach, move the mobility device as close as you
can to the object, and rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as
possible.
Note: To do this: Move your mobility device past the object that the user might
want to reach, then back up alongside it.
