Replacing

Tools Needed:
• 4 mm Allen Wrench
• Rubber Mallet
• Ruler
1. Loosen, but do not remove, the Allen screws in the two clamps that secure the footrest to the frame. See Figure 3-2.
Loosen each Allen screw until the entire head of the screw is completely visible outside the clamp.
2. Tap the head of the screw with a rubber mallet to release the wedge inside the frame tube. This will allow the footrest
(along with the clamp, wedge, washer and Allen screw) to be completely removed.
3. Insert the new footrest into one clamp and, holding the wedge in place against the clamp, partially screw the Allen screw
through the washer and into the clamp and the wedge. Repeat this procedure with the other clamp and wedge.
4. Slide both clamps into both frame tubes until each clamp is securely butted against the end of each frame tube.
5. Place the end of a ruler on the floor and hold it vertically against the left corner of the footrest. See Figure 3-3. Adjust
the left side of the footrest to the desired height (standard Footrest measurement must be at least 2" shorter than the
Front Seat Height measurement. To measure Front Seat Height, measure from the floor to top of seat tube at front edge
of seat sling) and tighten the Allen screw in the left clamp so the left side of the footrest cannot change.
6. Repeat the procedure from Step 5 above on the right side of the footrest.
7. When both sides are set at an equal distance from the floor, make sure all four wheels are in contact with the floor
and make sure that the Allen screw in each clamp is in the rearward position. Fully tighten the two Allen screws in the
clamps that secure the footrest to the chair frame, making sure the clamp remains securely butted up against the end
of the frame tube.

Titanium Footrest (Aero Z)

Adjusting the Height/Replacing

Tools Needed:
• 4 mm Allen Wrench
• Ruler
1. Loosen, but do not remove, the two Allen screws that engage the T-Nuts to the clamps that secure the footrest to the
frame. See Figure 3-4. Loosen the screws just enough to permit the footrest tubes to slide up and down within the
covers. Do not detach the footrest clamps from the frame.
2. If replacing the footrest, remove the old footrest and insert the new footrest tubes through the covers and clamps and
into the frame.
