case, contact the qualified personnel immediately. Only use the power wheelchair with the footplate raised
until the fault is rectified.

6.12.7 Power prone functions

WARNING
Incorrect handling of the prone function
Falling, tipping, collision with persons or nearby objects due to user error
► Never drive in the prone position since you cannot see your surroundings in this position.
C1000 SF
The power wheelchair can be equipped with a power
elevating leg support.
This function makes it possible for the user to avoid per­
manent pressure points and assume an anti-shock posi­
tion by adjusting the leg support.
Due to the special biomechanical design, the leg sup­
port changes in length as it is tilted. Biomechanical
length adjustment thereby prevents shear forces on the
user's legs.
The space for getting into/out of the wheelchair can be
increased by folding the foot support up by hand (see
Page 14).
The power wheelchair can be equipped with a power
lowering foot support.
In order to make getting in and out easier, the foot sup­
port can be lowered to the floor with this additional
power function. The foot support must be raised off the
floor again before driving.
There is a limit switch under the foot support. It is
adjusted so lowering stops before the foot support con­
tacts the floor.
