Attention:

Before any actions on the leg supports 
the wheelchair is to be secured against 
unintentional rolling motions.

 

Therefore observe chapter 

Securing the 

electric wheelchair

 on page 11.

Calf belt

The removable calf belt (1) prevents the feet 
from sliding off the back of the footplates.

!

 

Attention:

Do not drive without the calf belt. 
– Danger of accident!

 

Note:

The calf belt must be removed in order 
to swivel away the leg supports [2].

 

The calf belt is omitted for height ad-
justable leg supports and is replaced by 
a calf pad.

Removing the calf belt

For removal the calf belt is to be pulled from 
the attachment pins (3).

Attaching the calf belt

For attachment both loops of the calf belt 
are slid over the attachment pins [4].

Length adjustment of the calf belt

For length adjustment, the calf belt is guid-
ed around the special attachment pins (2) 
and adjusted in length with a velcro fasten-
er.
