5.5 Footrest

(Figure 16) and lowered for use (Figure 17).
To lower the footrest, swing it down until it stops.
To raise the footrest, swing it up until it stops.
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).
