12.15.2 Leaning backward
① Point the front casters forwards. You could move your wheelchair
forwards slightly then back again.
② Do not apply the parking brakes.
③ When reaching backwards, do not reach so far that you have to change
your sitting position.
Do not lean out over the backrest. If you lean too far backwards, you could
tip your wheelchair over.
● Never bend too far forwards and do not shift forwards in your seat to
reach an object.
● Do not bend forwards between your knees to pick up something off the
floor.
