MOVING THE POMMEL
The pommel can be taken off the seat to assist with putting the
child in the wheelchair. This can be done by loosening the screw
fitting in the centre (on the underneath of the chair) at the front.
When the screw is loosened, the pommel bar will slide out of the
bar attached to the base, and the pommel will come off the chair.
This can be replaced by sliding back into the holder and the
screw tightened.
Ensure the pommel is firmly secured before setting off.
THE SINGLE FOOTREST
The angle of the footrest can be adjusted by using the lever
handle on the bar underneath. When this lever handle is
unwound, the footrest can be tipped back or forward to re-
position it. When the preferred position is obtained the lever
handle can be tightened. To re-position the handle, the centre
button can be pushed in and the handle moved to a different
position.
TO LOWER THE FOOTREST
If the footrest is too high or too low for the child this can be
adjusted by loosening the bolt on the end of the bar which is
attached inside the legrest tubes. Then the bar can be lowered
or raised to suit the child. When re-positioned, the bolt should be
tightened and the footrest is ready to use.
TO REPOSITION THE FOOTREST
There is also a facility to reposition the entire footrest away from, or in
towards the wheelchair. This is achieved by using the screw fitting on the
side of the chair at the very front, which holds the bar attaching the
footrest to the base. When this screw is loosened the bar can be pulled
or pushed to a new position, and then the screw should be tightened.
The footplate can be removed when stowing the wheelchair into a
vehicle.
