DIAGRAM 6.

DO NOT attempt to reach for an item in front of the wheelchair, instead pull

up next to the item and reach for it from the side of the wheelchair.

WARNING!

Failing to reach for items from the side will result in the wheelchair

tipping forward and serious injury will occur.

DIAGRAM 7.

Ensure that the front castors are facing forward when attempting to pick up

an item from the side to ensure stability of the wheelchair.

WARNING!

Failing to move the front castors to face forward will result in instability

and will cause the user to loose balance which will result in injury.

DIAGRAM 8.

Whilst reaching for items from the side of the wheelchair, ensure it is as close

to the wheelchair as possible to prevent the user from stretching their upper

body out of the wheelchair.

WARNING!

Stretching too far out of the wheelchair will cause the wheelchair to

tip sideways resulting in injury to the user.

DIAGRAM 9.

The user must never turn their upper body rearward to reach behind the

wheelchair. Instead, position the wheelchair as close to the item as possible,

face the front castors forward and reach back only as far as the arm will

extend without changing the sitting position.

WARNING!

DO NOT stretch or reach behind the backrest to pick up an item as this

will cause the wheelchair to tip backward resulting in injury.

DIAGRAM 10.

Only use bags specifically designed for wheelchairs, allowing for even weight

distribution at all times.

WARNING!

Carrying excessively heavy wheelchair bags will result in the wheelchair

tipping backwards and will cause the user injury.

DIAGRAM 11.

When assisting an occupant onto or off a wheelchair, ensure wheels are

locked; castors are facing forward and foot plates are swung up and away.

WARNING!

Failing to lock wheels will cause the wheelchair to move away and

applying weight to the footplates whilst transferring will cause the

wheelchair to flip forward. Failure to observe these warnings whilst

transferring will cause injury to both the occupant and the attendant.
