Note: 

With a V-shaped product frame or with a larger 
lower leg width at the top than the bottom, it is 
necessary to relieve the footrest support tube 
tension in the footrest support plate resulting 
from length adjustment or to correct the shifted 
position of the footplate support. The footplate 
support can be moved back to the correct posi-
tion by opening the M6 fastening clamp screws 
(AF 5 mm) on the footrest support plate. View 
the procedure in Chapter 24.1. 

 

24.5  Footrest folds up to the rear with 

spring locking mechanism 

 

Figure 117: Footrest, folding up to the rear, with 
spring latching mechanism, in standard position 

 

To 

fold the footrest up to the rear

, the foot-

plate must be pushed gently backwards until 
the footrest is released from the lock. Now the 
footrest can be folded up completely to the 
rear.  

 

Figure 118: Footrest, folding up to the rear, with 
spring latching mechanism, folded up to the rear 

 

If you want to return the footrest to the stand-
ard position again, push it back forwards to the 
standard position.  

 

To 

adjust the length of the footrest support 

tubes or adapt the lower leg length

, the M6 

fastening clamp screws (with polymer dry lock-
ing coating, AF 4 mm) must be unscrewed on 
both outer sides of the lower leg tubes. The 
lower leg length can now be adjusted along the 
notches. Make sure that the same notch is 
used on both sides.  

A large adjustment range is available for a 
shorter lower leg length. If a longer lower leg 
length is desired, it can usually be extended by 
2 cm with the existing lower leg tube. If a 
greater extension is desired, longer lower leg 
tubes can be obtained from PRO ACTIV.  

Once the lower leg length is adjusted, fix it in 
position by inserting the M6 fastening clamp 
screws (with polymer dry locking coating, AF 
4 mm) on both sides and tightening them to 
7 Nm. 

 

Figure 119: Notches and M6 fastening clamp screw 
for lower leg length adjustment (view from the rear) 

 

Note:

 

With a V-shaped product frame or with a larger 
lower leg width at the top than the bottom and 
footrest support tubes that do not run parallel, 
it is necessary to relieve the footrest support 
tube tension in the footrest support plate result-
ing from longitudinal adjustment. In this case, 
the M6 fastening clamp screws (AF 5 mm) on 
the footrest support plate therefore have to be 

M6 fastening clamp 
screw
