6.5 Getting in and transferring
CAUTION
Incorrect handling when getting in
Falling, tipping over due to incorrect handling
► Turn the control unit off while getting in and out, in order to avoid accidental driving.
► Always place the seat in a horizontal position.
► Note that the armrests are not capable of bearing full body weight, and therefore must not be used for getting
into or out of the wheelchair.
► Always put on a lap belt when driving.
CAUTION
Incorrect handling when getting in
Crushing, pinching, impacts due to incorrect handling
► Do not reach into the danger area with your fingers when folding the legrest or footplates up or down.
► Never step on the footplates when getting in and out.
► Note projecting edges.
The modular design of the power wheelchair and the ease with which you can remove the side panels and legrests
make it easy to get into and out of the wheelchair from the side or from the front.
Users can choose the method for getting into and out of the wheelchair which is most suitable for them.
