Calf Straps

To finalise the foot and leg position, your wheelchair has a calf strap on the foot rest supports.
Adjustment: Your calf strap is adjustable, just pull the end of the strap to release the hook and eye fastening
and adjust the tension. Place the end back in position on the fastener and press together to ensure a good
fixing.
The strap is removable.
Heel support straps
To finalise the foot position, the rest can be equipped with heel straps. The strap cannot be removed and
should be repositioned towards the front when folding back the footplate.
