Transferring To and From Other Seats ƽ WARNING ALWAYS turn the wheelchair power Off and engage the Motor Release Levers to prevent the wheels from moving before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair. Also, make sure every precaution is taken to reduce the gap distance by aligning both the front and rear casters parallel with the object you are transferring onto. CAUTION When transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the seat. This will prevent broken screws, damaged upholstery and the possibility of the wheelchair tipping forward.
