GUIDELINES FOR USING THE FOOTREST
Use the footrest properly to ensure that is does not interfere with
patient's or operators' feet.
Before transferring the patient onto the chair, make sure the
●
footrest is raised in the storage position. Seat the patient before
lowering the footrest.
● When preparing to transfer the patient off the chair, unfasten the
ankle restraint and raise the footrest into the storage position
before unfastening the patient's torso and lap restraints. This will
prevent the patient from attempting to stand before the footrest
has been stored out of the way of his/her feet.
Keep the footrest raised when it is not in use.
●
Footrest
Raise the footrest to the storage position
before transferring the patient onto or off
from the chair.

5.6 Wheel Locks

The rear chair wheels are fitted with wheel locks to help keep the chair
from rolling during patient transfer.
Stay with the chair and maintain control of it at all times. Do not use the
wheel locks as a substitute for operator control.
To engage a wheel lock, press down the rear end of the lock pedal
(Figure 16).
To disengage a wheel lock, press down the forward end of the lock
pedal.
