Footboard
Angle-Adjustable Footboard
This can be adjusted to alter the
angle to the ground. Release screw,
pull it inwards, set the desired angle
and then push it on. After making
the adjustment, re-tighten the
screw. Make sure that after any
adjustment work, all screws are
tightened correctly (see the page on
torque).
Ensure that you maintain the
minimum gap to the floor (2.5 cm) (Fig. 6.14).
Hanger And Latch
The legrests can be swung inwards under the seat sling or
outwards.
When fitting the legrests, the footrests must be pointing inwards
or outwards. Then rotate the legrest inwards, until it locks into
place. To remove, pull the lever (1), swing the footplate inwards
or outwards and then lift the legrest out. Make sure that the
legrest is locked into place correctly (Fig. 6.15 - 6.15.1).
WARNING!
• The legrests should not be used to lift or to carry the
wheelchair.
• When getting on or off the wheelchair, do not use the
footboards. These should be flipped up beforehand and
swung to the outside as far as possible.
