Instructions For Transfers
Move the Cricket from in front or behind
to freewheel to desired location.
Tip: Lead with the large castors,
particularly over door thresholds. The
small castors make it much easier to
move on thick carpets.
Guide the client to sit back down in the
seat. Once they are comfortable and
secure, release the brakes.

Whilst the client is standing, hook the
the back bars into position behind the
client. Ensure the seat is secure.
