5.4 FOOTRESTS

5.4.1 Swing-away footrest supports

The footrest supports can be swung away to the
outside/rear of the chair to free the front of the
wheelchair making it easier for the user to transfer
to another seat. They can also be removed.
Use: To swing the support to the outside, press the
release mechanism lever. Rotate the support carefully
to the outside of the wheelchair.
To return the support, repeat the operations in the
reverse order. Check that the release mechanism has
automatically locked.
To remove the support, swing the assembly away
from the chair, release the spring mechanism and lift
the support away from the chair.
Adjustment: Loosen the screws (A), adjust to the
required height and re-tighten screws.
NB: The footrest supports are fitted in pairs to the
wheelchair. When adjusting or removing, remember
that there is one support for the right hand side and
another for the left hand side.
