twisting motion when sliding the telescopic tube in and
out.

Be sure to retighten the nuts securely when the desired
height is achieved.
CAUTION:
The lowest part of the footplate must be at least 6cm from the ground for clearance. Never stand on the
footplates. If the weight of the body is placed on the footplates it is possible the chair will tip forwards.
When using the lift facility, ensure that the footrests are removed from the chair. It is recommended that both
footrests are firmly locked into place when seated in the chair (particularly when driving the chair). Failure to do so
may result in personal injury.
