TRANSFERS

The following instructions apply to users with sufficient mobility to get in and out of

the wheelchair without assistance. However the instructions are still valid where

assistance is required and will help where other aids such as transfer boards or hoists

are used. Before transferring to or from the wheelchair, make sure you are as near as

possible to your point of transfer and that the brakes are applied.
