Transferring & Standing

Transferring

• For proper transfer techniques, please seek professional advice from your therapist or physician.

• The kneepad does not lock in the upright position when transferring, do NOT grab the

kneepad for support.

• Always lock the wheel locks on your wheelchair and the casters on the EasyStand Evolv before

transferring.

• If you do not need assistance in transferring, position your wheelchair next to the EasyStand

Evolv. Flip the armrest and knee support away to allow for increased transfer space. Make sure

that the knee support is flipped up to allow you to position your feet. Complete your transfer

and position your feet in the footplates. Secure the foot straps and reposition the knee and side

supports.

• If required, patient lifts can be used for transferring. There are a variety of access points to

accomplish the assisted transfer.

• When transferring out of the EasyStand, pump the seat up so that it is equal to or higher than

the seat you are transferring back in to.

Standing

• Please consult with your physician or therapist before starting a standing program.

• Once transferred into the EasyStand, position your feet and the knee support and secure any

straps and side supports. Push the pump handle forward with 15-25 strokes. The seat will

slowly rise into the standing position. Remember that you can stop the seat anywhere between

the sitting and standing position.

Caution: If the back is adjusted outside of +/- 10 degrees from vertical, it is possible for

the back angle adjustment knob to come into contact with the lower back tube, causing

damage to the unit.

• To return to the seated position, move and hold the pump handle toward the rear until you have

reached your desired position. The seat will slowly lower until you release the handle.

Caution: When lowering the unit from standing to sitting, keep all hands and feet clear

of the mechanism beneath the seat.

•

If you have difficulty getting the seat to lower, you may not be applying the proper pressure to

the handle.

• If the unit is in the standing position and unoccupied, apply moderate pressure to the seat of

the unit while holding the pump handle back. Do not use excessive force.
