Stabilisers - R Healthcare Dash Series Technical Information Manual

The footrest mounting plate incorporates a latch hole which engages with a sprung loaded locking
plunger in the wheelchair frame bracket when the footrest is swivelled into the forward support
position.
Footrest height adjustment is by a series of holes in the internal stem tube which slides inside the
bracket tube, to be secured at the required height by fixing screws.
When adjusting the footrest height, the screws should be removed, and the stem height adjusted
to a new hole position.
The footplate on Dash is an handed injection moulding, available in two width sizes.
The footplate moulding incorporates a location feature which engages snugly with the stem, to
eliminate vibration and take the load of the occupant's foot at the required support position. The
footplate can be swivelled from the support position, upwards against the stem and bracket to
allow compact folding and occupant Dash.
When obtaining spares or replacement footrests it is necessary to specify the chair seat width, as
this determines the required footplate width.

STABILISERS

The lower rear frame on standard build of Dash has a tipping lever feature with a protective sleeve
fitted. When stability is an issue or an inexperienced user who is developing skills, or as part of a
training programme, we recommend that the chair is supplied with anti tip stabilisers.
TIP LEVERS SHOULD ONLY BE SET IN THE UPWARD POINTING POSITION WHEN THERE IS AN
ATTENDENT IN CONTOL OF THE WHEELCHAIR AND NO REQUIREMENT FOR KERB LIFTING
To fit anti tip stabilisers it is necessary to remove the tipping lever sleeve. The frame tube under
the sleeve has a fixing hole, the anti tip assembly incorporates a quick release sprung location pin
