CAUTION!
•
The legrests must not be used to lift or to carry the
wheelchair.
•
When getting on or off the wheelchair, do not use the
footboards. These should be flipped up beforehand or the
footrest should be swung to the outside as far as possible.
OPTION ELEVATING LEGREST
(Fig 12-14)
To remove, pull the lever (1), swing the footplate outwards and
then lift the legrest out.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT:
The lower leg length can be adjusted infinitely by releasing the
screw (2). Adjust the suitable height and tighten the screw
again.
CAUTION!
The distance between the footplate and the ground must be at
least 40 mm.

BRAKE LEVER EXTENSION
The extension for the brake lever
can be removed or folded down.
The longer lever helps to minimise
the effort needed to set the wheel
locks (Fig.8).
CAUTION!
Mounting the wheel lock too close
towards the wheel will result in a
higher effort to operate. This might
cause the brake lever extension to
break!
CAUTION!
Leaning onto the brake lever extension while transferring will
cause the lever to break! Splashing water from tyres might
cause the wheel lock to malfunction..
FIG. 8
Drum Brakes
Drum brakes permit safe and
convenient braking for an
attendant. They can also be set
with the aid of a locking lever (1) to
prevent rolling. The lever must snap
audibly into place. Drum brakes are
not influenced by air pressure
inside the tyres. Your wheelchair
cannot be moved when the drum
brakes are set (Fig.9).
CAUTION!
Drum brakes must only be adjusted by authorised dealers.

Options - Footplates
FOOTPLATES:
The footplates can be flipped up to
make it easier to transfer to/from
the chair.
LOWER LEG LENGTH:
For users with longer legs, the leg
support can be lowered to the
appropriate level by using the
screws (1). Loosen the screws,
push the tubes to the desired
position and then re-tighten the
screws (see section on torque).
There must always be a minimum gap of 2.5 cm between the
footplates and the ground, (Fig.10).
FOOTRESTS AND LATCH
The legrests can be swung
inwards under the seat sling or
outwards. When fitting the
legrests, the footrests must be
pointing inwards or outwards.
Then rotate the legrest inwards,
until it locks into place. To remove,
pull the lever (1), swing the
footplate inwards or outwards and
then lift the legrest out. Make sure
that the legrest is locked into place
correctly, (Fig 11).
