Invacare FDX User Manual

Position wheelchair as close as possible to the desired object. Position 

the casters so that they are extended away from the drive wheels to 

create the longest possible wheelbase, engage the motor locks and turn 

power off. Reach back only as far as your arm will extend without 

changing your sitting position.

FIGURE 3     Reaching, Bending - Backward



DO NOT lean over the top of the back 
upholstery. This will change your center of gravity 
and may cause you to tip over.
Proper positioning is essential for your safety. 
When reaching, leaning, bending or bending 
backward, it is important to use the casters as a 
tool to maintain stability and balance.
