5.2 Making a transfer
Sunrise Medical recommend that you consult your healthcare
professional for assistance in developing your personal front or side
transfer technique to best suit your needs and avoid any personal
injury.
Preparing for a forward transfer:
DANGER!
It is dangerous to transfer on your own. It requires good balance and
agility. Be aware that there is a point during every transfer when the
seating system seat is not below you.

• Press the Red lever, (A), on the top of the front Knee fixation
assembly.
• Gently lift the assembly up and out of the receiver.
To Refit, (Fig.5.1 - Fig.5.2):
• Press the Red lever, (A), on the top of the front Knee fixation
assembly.
• Place the lower edge of the tube into the receiver.
• Push home and release the button.
• Ensure the assembly is fixed firmly in place.
Lower the centre mount foot plate, & Controller:
• Ensure the area is level and free of obstacles and hazards.
• Turn the control system ON.
• Select the powered centre mount leg rest.
• Push the joystick forward until the foot plates rest fully on the
ground, (Fig. 5.3).
• Switch the control system OFF before transferring.
WARNING
Be aware that when powered, the area around and underneath
the footplate needs to be clear of all personal items and bodily
extremities to prevent injury or damage to property.
CAUTION!
Once the leg rest is fully lifted or in its lowest position do not hold the
joystick in its operating position as this could damage the actuator.

Perform the above procedure, but also flip back the armrest on the
appropriate side for the transfer.
