Position the wheelchair as close as possible alongside the seat to which
you are transferring, with the front casters pointing parallel to it.
Remove or flip up the armrest. Engage wheel locks. Swing away or
remove front rigging. Shift body weight into seat with transfer.
During independent transfer, little or no seat platform will be beneath
you. Use a transfer board if at all possible.

Tilt the wheelchair toward you (raising the opposite wheel and caster off the ground/floor).

CAUTION
When transferring, position yourself as far back
as possible in the seat. This will help prevent
damaged upholstery and the possibility of the
wheelchair tipping forward.
This activity may be performed independently
provided you have adequate mobility and upper
body strength.

DO NOT place hand or fingers on the underside of the seat frame rail when opening or closing the wheelchair.
