Front frame with removable footrest
One of the features of this model is the particular footrest that you can rotate out of the way or remove completely.
These functions reduce the bulk and the weight of the wheelchair and help the occupant to get closer to objects such beds and tables.
It is also convenient for amputees who have no use for the footrest.

Check that the footrest frame is securely locked to its support.
With one hand, take hold of the footrest frame and try to move it clock and anticlockwise. If it is securely locked, the footrest frame will not rotate, but you should notice just a little play.

(6)
To insert the footrest frame, first lean the fork D on the post C.
