Manual height-adjustable legrest 80° - 0° with ergonomic length
compensation

9.4.1 General

Information

The manual height-adjustable legrest provides quick mechanical
adjustment of the angle of the legrest. Adjustment of the length of
the legrest and of the angle of the footplate can be done with
corresponding tools. We recommend that this adjustment be done
by a trained Invacare® Dealer.
