Transferring To and From Other Seats
 WARNING
BEFORE attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should
be taken to reduce the gap distance. Align both casters parallel with the object you
are transferring onto. Also be certain the wheel locks are engaged to help prevent
the wheels from moving.
CAUTION
When transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the seat. This will
prevent damaged upholstery and the possibility of the wheelchair tipping forward.
