Adjustable/Detachable footrest
To adjust the seat to footrest height - release the locking bolt with the spanner, set the correct height
then re-tighten the bolt.
The footplates - can be flipped up from a horizontal position to vertical to allow feet access to the
ground.
To swing the footrest assembly from its position at the front of the wheelchair to the side, pull back the
locking catch to release the locking mechanism. While the footrest is in folded position it can also be
detached by lifting the hinge brackets off the locating pins.
When the footrest is swung back to its forward position the locking mechanism operates automatically,
and the footrest can no longer be detached. The wheelchair should not be in motion unless the swinger
and footplate assembly is in the correct position (not swung to the side of the chair).
Gel batteries
The two batteries are contained in individual plastic containers. The containers rest in a plastic tray which
in turn rests on a metal carrier located beneath the seat of the wheelchair.
To position the batteries in the chair - lift the right hand side of the seat canvas, drop the carrier and
plastic tray into position from the top position the batteries beside each other, making sure the reset
switches are positioned to the back with the reset buttons pointing outwards. Connect both batteries
into the wiring loom (black and red connectors).
