FOOTPLATES:
The footplates can be flipped up to make it easier to transfer to/from
the chair.
Lower leg length:
For users with longer legs, the leg
support can be lowered to the
appropriate level by using the
screws (1). Loosen the screws, push
the tubes to the desired position and
then re-tighten the screws (see
section on torque).
There must always be a minimum
gap of 2.5 cm between the footplates
and the ground (Fig. 9).
Angle-adjustable footboard
This can be adjusted to alter the
angle to the ground. Release screw,
pull it inwards, set the desired angle
and then push it on. After making the
adjustment, re-tighten the screw.
Make sure that after any
adjustment work, all screws are
tightened correctly (see the page on
torque).
Ensure that you maintain the
minimum gap to the floor (2.5 cm) (Fig. 10).
CAUTION!
• The legrests must not be used to lift or to carry the wheelchair.
• When getting on or off the wheelchair, do not use the
footboards. These should be flipped up beforehand or the
footrest should be swung to the outside as far as possible.
OPTION ELEVATING LEGREST
(Fig 11-13)
To remove, pull the lever (1), swing the
footplate outwards and then lift the
legrest out.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT:
The lower leg length can be adjusted
infinitely by releasing the screw (2).
Adjust the suitable height and tighten the
screw again.
CAUTION!
The distance between the footplate
and the ground must be at least 40
mm.
ANGLE ADJUSTMENT:
Press the lever (3) downward with one
hand while supporting the legrest with
the other hand to take the load off. When
a suitable angle is achieved, let go of the
lever and the legrest will lock into one of
the preset positions.

ADJUSTING THE CALF PAD
(Fig 14).
The calf pad can be adjusted as
follows:
Height: Open bolt (4) and move the
clamping piece to the desired
position. By rotating the clamping
piece also the angle can be
adjusted.
Depth: Open bolt (5) and move the
calf pad into the desired position.
Width: Open bolt (5) and position the
spacers (6) behind the pad, to get
the desired position.
WARNING!
• Keep hands clear of the adjustable mechanism between the
frame and the movable parts of the foot rest, while elevating or
lowering the footrest.
• Always make sure that the fasteners are secure.
• The foot rests must not be used to lift or to carry the
wheelchair.
• Risk of trapping fingers! When moving the foot rest up or
down, do not put your fingers in the adjusting mechanism
between the moving parts of the foot rest.
AMPUTEE SUPPORT
(Fig.15).
The Amputee Support can be
adjusted in every direction as
required.
CASTORS, CASTOR PLATES, FORKS
The wheelchair may veer slightly to the right or left, or the castors
may wobble. This may be caused by the following:
• Forward and/or reverse wheel motion has not been set properly.
• The castor angle has not been set correctly.
• Castor and/or rear wheel air pressure is incorrect; the wheels do
not turn smoothly.
The wheelchair will not move in a straight line if the castors have
not been properly adjusted. Castors should always be adjusted by
an authorised dealer. The wheel locks must be checked every time
the rear wheel position has been altered.
The seat height is determined by the
castor and rear wheel position. The
seat height can be adjusted by
altering the position of the rear
wheels and the castors and by using
spacers.
CAUTION!
After adjusting the seat height, all
screws must be re-tightened and the
wheel lock must be readjusted.
