RMS L6-P03-15-19/20 User Information

RMS Rochester Stump Boards

IMPORTANT NOTES

 Please read all instructions carefully before fitting this device.
 When correctly attached to the footrest stem of a wheelchair, this device is intended for use, as a support
platform for lower limb amputees and should only be used as directed by a suitably qualified person.

The manufacturer considers that the static stability of an unoccupied wheelchair, will not be adversely
affected by the fitment of this device. However in view of the purpose for which this device is fitted and as
body weight distribution (Centre of Gravity) may have changed due to the intended user's disability, it is
recommended that an appropriate stability test be carried out by a suitably competent person, with the
user seated in their wheelchair. If the competent person considers that an instability factor does exist,
appropriate action should be taken to rectify this, i.e., use of anti-tip devices.
 This device is suitable for attachment to left or right side Footrest Hangers.

TOOLS REQUIRED

5mm Hexagon Key—13mm Spanner— Pozi. 3 Screwdriver
3/8 or 1/4 drive 10mm Socket with Bar or Ratchet.

FITTING

 It is recommended that the Original Equipment Footrest
be removed from it's stem, on the side to which the
Stump Board is to be fitted. This is done by fully removing
the retaining and pivoting screws, located at the bottom
of the OE Footrest Stem Fig.1.
 The 19/20mm Double Clamp (b) Fig.1, should be loosely
installed onto the OE Footrest Stem just above the bend,
Fig.1. NOTE: The 20mm side of the clamp is for use on
the OE Footrest Stem.
 Insert the 15° angled Lower Stem (a) into the 19mm side
of the Double Clamp (b), with the Hayden Clamp (d) at
the top and position at the front and in line with, the
Footrest Hanger. NOTE: Dependant on it's position in
relation to the Footrest Hanger, it may be necessary to
slacken the Footrest Stem Locking Screw, Fig.1, to allow
the Stem to be raised or lowered to accommodate the
Double Clamp (b). DO NOT clamp on the bend, or on the
lower section of the OE Stem below the bend.

 Install the Stump Platform Upper Stem (c) into the Lower Stem (a), ensuring
that the maximum extension line, (a ring marked on Stem (c)), is either level
with, or ideally, 25mm below the top rim of the Lower Stem (a). Fig.2.
NOTE: It is recommended, that the clamping bolt of the Hayden Clamp (d),
is inserted through the Clamp from the inner face towards the outside and
the nut and washer added to the outer face. This is to avoid any possibility of
contact by the user with the nut of the Hayden Clamp, during transferring.
 Place the Stump Pad in the approximate intended position and temporarily
secure the device just sufficient to maintain its position.
 The Stump Pad will normally be supplied attached to the mounting frame via
the two centre mounting holes. However, to reduce the gap between the
Stump Pad and the wheelchair seat, if required, the Stump Pad can be re-
mounted on the forward two mounting positions Fig.2.
