Backward
WARNING: Do not engage the wheel locks while reaching or
bending backward. Should your weight suddenly
shift accidentally, it is better to roll in that direc-
tion than to tip over.
WARNING: Do not lean over the back upholstery; this could
cause the wheelchair to tip.
1. Maneuver the wheelchair as close as possible to the object; the
rear wheels will limit how close you can get.
2. Rotate both casters fully forward: Go forward, and then back the
wheelchair toward the object to swing the casters fully forward.
3. Reach only as far as your arm will extend without changing
your sitting position. If in doubt, reposition the wheelchair or
ask for assistance.
