Laminated Tray with Straps
(optional accessory)
The tray rests across the two armrests of
the Encora. It is fixed in position by taking
the two webbing straps down either side of
the chair feeding the straps through the
buckle and clamping them in place with the
flip lock.
The tray must be removed before
attempting to exit the chair by lifting the
clamp and releasing the webbing strap.
Footboard
(optional accessory)
•
The footboard provides added support
and positioning for the feet.
•
It has a fixed 90° angle and is height
adjustable.
•
The length of the footboard can be
extended or shortened according to
user need by simply pulling the silver
spring adjuster behind the legrest,
moving the footboard up or down
accordingly and replacing the silver
spring.
•
Care should be taken when extending
the footboard and bringing the chair
forwards through tilt-in-space as the
legrest may foul on the floor if
extended too long.
•
The legrest should be removed
completely when bringing the chair to
a fully upright position so as to avoid it
fouling on the floor.
Wheels
The Encora chair is fitted with two 100mm
fully locking wheels at the rear of the chair
that will not roll or swivel when activated.
•
To
apply
the brakes, press down on the
front edge of the ridged pad on each
wheel. The brakes should be applied
during all transfer operations.
•
To
unlock
the brakes, push down the top
edge of the ridged pad until it is level with
the rest of the wheel.
•
Always check that wheels are not locked
before moving the chair.
