2.1.4 Footplates and Front Rigging
WARNING!
Risk of Serious Injury or Damage
Operating the wheelchair with a ground clearance of
less than 75 mm (3 inches) between the footplates and
the ground/floor may cause serious injury or property
damage.
– ALWAYS maintain a minimum of 75 mm (3
inches) between the bottom of the footplates and
ground/floor to ensure proper ground clearance while
the wheelchair is in motion. If necessary, adjust the
footplates height to achieve proper ground clearance.
After footplates height adjustment, if the wheelchair
dips forward and the footplates touch the ground
while in motion, please contact your dealer for an
inspection and avoid use of the wheelchair if possible.
CAUTION!
Risk of Damage
Interference between footrests and front casters may
cause damage.
– When determining the depth of the telescoping front
frame tubes, make sure the rear of the footrests do
not interfere with the movement of the front casters.
Otherwise damage to the wheelchair may result or
may impede proper operation.
