Foot Plate Adjustment
The foot plate height can be adjusted for the
comfort of the user.
1. Loosen the foot plate adjustment
bolt (1) on bottom of the foot plate
tube (2).
2. Slide the foot plate (3) up or down to the
desired height and re-tighten the
adjustment bolt.
The foot plate height is correct when the weight of the lower legs
is carried through the feet onto the footplates without causing the
user's knees to be elevated off the seat.
Please note that foot plate adjustment height is often a compromise.
1. For those with long legs, the foot plates may be too close to the
ground. Depending on the terrain, the foot plates should be about
two inches from the ground.
A cushion can be used to raise the user an inch or two to elevate
the user and provide more clearance under the foot plates.
2. For those with short legs, the foot plates may not be high enough
at their highest position to support the feet.
The best solution for those with short legs is to wear shoes with
thicker soles. If this is still not sufficient, please contact your
retailer for advice.
Wheels and Casters
The wheels and casters have maintenance free solid tires installed
that will not become flat if they are cut or punctured by debris on the
ground.
The chair is fitted with 8” diameter casters and 12” diameter rear
wheels to make travel over rough terrain and small obstacles easier.
On very rough or soft terrain it will be easier, and safer, for the care
giver to pull the chair backwards until smoother or harder terrain is
reached.
Arm Rests
The arm rests are fixed to the chair frame and provide pockets in the
side panels to carry small items.
