WARNING!

WARNING!
Always ensure that the legrests or footplates do not come
into contact with the castors before driving the wheelchair.

your body may cause the chair to tip forwards. This could
result in injury and could damage the footrests.

To adjust the footrest length remove the screw assembly on
the footrest stem as shown in (Fig.5.42), adjust the length
