Section 7-Footrest/Anti-Tipper; Adjusting/Replacing Standard Footrest; Replacing The Footrest; Adjusting The Footrest - Invacare Terminator Titanium Owner's Operator And Maintenance Manual

SECTION 7—FOOTREST/ANTI-TIPPER
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching
hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may occur.
ALWAYS perform this procedure in the presence of an assistant. The position of
the footrest, camber tube, back angle, the tautness of the back upholstery as well as
the user's condition are directly related to the wheelchairs stability. Any change to
one or any combination of the five may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability.
Use extreme caution when using a new seating position. The addition of anti-tippers
may be required.
Check all allen screws that secure the footrest/raised footrest system to the
wheelchair frame to make sure they are securely tightened before using the
wheelchair. Especially if engaging in any contact sport.
The footrest assembly MUST be at least 1-3/4-inches (4.45 cm) above the
ground/floor to avoid hitting protruding objects when using this wheelchair.

Adjusting/Replacing Standard Footrest

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to
FIGURE 7.1.
1. Loosen the two allen screws that secure
the footrest to the wheelchair frame.

Replacing the Footrest

1. Remove existing footrest.
2. Install new footrest.
The standard footrest has an open hoop. A footplate cover is recommended for
wheelchair users that have leg spasticity or whose feet have a possibility of falling
through the footrest hoop. A calf strap is provided with each wheelchair to prevent
the feet from slipping backwards off of the footrest. Be sure the calf strap is secure
when using the wheelchair.

Adjusting the Footrest

1. Position new/existing footrest to desired height.
2. Tighten the two allen screws that secure the footrest to the wheelchair frame.
