4.1 Transfer
Transfer into the wheelchair is described below. The lightweight wheelchair is designed for per-
sons who normally move around in the wheelchair independently. Therefore, the independent
transfer is described. Should you require an attendant, the steps described here are carried out
correspondingly but with support.
Manoeuvre the wheelchairs so that they are positioned at an angle of approx. 45 ° degrees
to each other (Fig. 9). Ensure that the wheel locks do not get caught in each other but remain
freely movable. First activate the wheel locks of the wheelchair that is currently in use (Fig. 10).
Then activate the wheel locks of the wheelchair you want to transfer into (Fig. 11). Move your
feet from the footrest to the floor and move ahead in the wheelchair if required (Fig. 12).
