CAUTION
Improper adjustment of the legrests/footplates
Tipping over, falling due to user error
► After changing the legrest/footplate settings, verify that the legrests/footplates do not collide with the caster
wheels at any of the seat tilt settings (seat angle adjustment).
► The distance between the legrest/footplate and the caster wheel must be at least 25 mm.
The footplates are the supporting surfaces for the feet.
Their distance from the seat bottom influences sitting stability. The height adjustment acts on the pelvis and ischial
bones.
The angle of the footplates should permit a comfortable ankle position.
