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.
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.
●
5.6 Wheel Locks
The rear wheels of the chair 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 on the rear end of the
lock pedal (Figure 18).
To disengage a wheel lock, press down on the forward end
of the lock pedal (Figure 19).
