4 SAFETY/HANDLING OF WHEELCHAIRS

4.10 Reaching, Leaning and Bending - Forward

Proper positioning is essential for your safety. When reaching, leaning,
bending forward, it is important to use the front casters as a tool to
maintain stability and balance.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to
move forward in the seat or pick them up from
the floor by reaching down between your knees.
Position the front casters so that they are extended as far forward as
possible and engage wheel locks.

4.11 Reaching, Bending - Backward

WARNING
DO NOT lean over the top of the back
upholstery. This will change your center of gravity
and may cause you to tip over.
Keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to
avoid injury.
Position wheelchair as close as possible to the desired object. Point front
casters forward to create the longest possible wheelbase. Reach back
only as far as your arm will extend without changing your sitting position.
