Angle adjustable legrests support the legs and reduce
pressure. The legrests can be used for bandaged legs,
but not for legs in plaster casts. The legrests must
always be fitted with calf pads, footplates and heel
straps.
It is important to adjust the height and angle of the
legrests to obtain a good seating position.
1. Height adjustment
Loosen screw (A) with an Allen key. Adjust the
legrest into a suitable height and the screw is
caught by one of the recesses on the legrest tube.
Then retighten the screw.
2. Angle adjustment
Pull the lever (B) with one hand while support-
ing the legrest with your other hand. When a
suitable angle is obtained, let go of the lever and
the legrest will look into one of seven preset
positions (C).
Do not place anything heavy, or let children
sit on the legrest. It may cause damage to the
mechanism.
The distance between the lowest part of
the footrest and the ground must be at least
40 mm.
Calf pads
The calf pads can be fitted in four different depth
positions. Swing the pad forwards. Unscrew screw
(B) using an Allen key. Remove the large nut (C) on
the reverse side and place it in the other attachment
hole. Move the calf pad to the new position and secure
it into place with the screw.
The height of the calf pads can easily be adjusted using
the handwheel (D).
Depth- and angle adjustable footplates
Adjust the angle and the depth by loosening the
screw (A) at the footplate attachment with a
5 mm Allen key. Adjust the footplate to the correct
position and retighten the screw.
Do not place anything on the footplate when
the screws have been loosened.
