Risk of Serious Injury or Damage
Operating the wheelchair with a clearance of
less than 75 mm (3 inches) between the
footplates and the ground/floor may cause
serious injury or property damage.
-ALWAYS maintain a minimum of 75 mm (3
inches) between the bottom of the footplates
and ground/floor to ensure proper clearance
while the wheelchair is in motion. If necessary,
adjust the footplates height to achieve proper
clearance. After footplates height adjustment, if
the wheelchair dips forward and the footplates
touch the ground while in motion, please
contact your provider for an inspection and
avoid use of the wheelchair if possible.
