Adjustment Of The Footrest - progeo Exelle User Manual

Remove screws A and corresponding nuts and washers (use a 3
mm Allen key and an 8 mm spanner). Slide the footrest support
tube up or down to the desired position. Replace the screws in the
nearest available holes and tighten firmly.
In order to avoid hitting objects which could cause
the wheelchair to tip over, we recommend
maintaining a minimum distance between the base
of the footrests and the ground of not less than
2cm.
After adjustment tighten all screws firmly.

6.8 Adjustment of the footrest

The Exelle model can be equipped with three different types of
footrest: double footrests (figure 52), one-piece footrest
(figure 53) and one-piece automatic folding footrest (figure
54).
Any one of the three types of footrest can be mounted based on the
specific requirements of the user.
When raised, the one-piece footrest and the double footrest
enable the user to place their feet on the ground. The one-piece
automatic closing footrest does not offer this facility.
The one-piece footrests are more rigid and durable than the
double footrests. For this reason they are recommended for
those users who experience strong contractions of the lower
limbs and who tend to apply frequent sustained pressure on the
footrests.
Double footrests
These can be raised very easily by pulling up with one hand on
the individual footrests themselves (figure 51).
The double footrests can be adjusted for angle to ensure the best
foot contact for the user.
To adjust the angle remove screw A (use a 5 mm Allen key),
rotate the footrest as indicated by the arrow up or down to the
required position (figure 52). Replace and tighten the screw firmly.
