Preparing for use symbols These instructions should be read carefully before using the wheelchair. This product does not have a service manual. The only parts for user assembly are the footrests. A risk assessment must also be performed to assess suitability of the device for the user.
Footrest adjustment To fit the footrests, place the brackets onto the pins either side of the wheelchair frame and rotate inwards until they lock into place. Pull the tabs inwards to release. For optimum comfort it is important to attain the correct leg position.
