J. Adjusting the Footrest
How to Change the Height Adjustment of Your Footrest
NOTE: The footrest height should be determined by working with your clinician to ensure
the proper fit for your needs.
1. Loosen the set screw (Fig. 5:A) on each side of the frame using a 3mm Allen wrench. Do not
remove the screws.
2. Adjust the footrest tube up or down to achieve the desired height (Fig. 5:B).
3. Ensure both sides are adjusted equally and retighten each set screw to 40 in./lbs (4.5 N*m).
K. Angle Adjustable Footrest
How to Adjust the Angle of the Angle Adjustable Footplate:
1. Use a 4mm Allen wrench to loosen the two screws (Fig. 6:A) that secure the footplate to the
footplate clamp. Do not remove the screws from the footplate.Once loose, the footplate will
easily rotate around the footrest extension tube.
2. Select the desired position and retighten the two M6 screws (Fig. 6:A) to 80 in./lbs (9.04
N*m).
Changing the Position of the Aluminum Flip-Up Footplate:
1. Remove both M6 screws from the footplate. There are M6 nylock nuts recessed on the
underside of the clamp. Be sure to prevent these from falling as you loosen the screws.
2. Adjust the footplate by rotating it either forward or rearward, depending on the desired angle.
Once the preferred position is achieved, reinsert the screws into the appropriate holes.
3. Fit the nuts into the slot underneath the clamp and tighten the screws securely.
