Armrest Width Adjustment

You can change each armrest’s width independently of the other.

NOTE: Changing the armrest width may increase the
overall width of your power chair.

To change the armrest width:
1. Locate the two armrest knobs on each side of the arm-

rest receiver bracket. See figure 16.

2. Loosen the knobs.
3. Slide the armrests in or out to the desired width.
4. Tighten the knobs.

Armrest Angle Adjustment

To change the armrest angle:
1. Lift the armrest straight up so that it is perpendicular to

the floor. See figure 16.

2. Loosen the jam nuts.
3. Turn the adjusting screw clockwise to lower the front

of the armrest, or turn the adjusting screw counterclock-
wise to raise the front of the armrest.

4. Tighten the jam nuts to lock the adjusting screw into place.

Foot Platform Height Adjustment

The foot platform height is easily adjusted to different heights
in 1/2-in. increments.

To raise or lower the foot platform:
1. Remove the quick release fasteners from the foot plat-

form bracket. See figure 17.

2. Raise or lower the foot platform to the desired height.
3. Reinstall the quick release fasteners into the foot plat-

form bracket and tighten.

Foot Platform Depth Adjustment

To adjust the foot platform depth:
1. Remove the quick release fasteners from the foot plat-

form bracket. See figure 17.

2. Move the foot platform in or out to the desired depth.
3. Reinstall the quick release fasteners into the foot plat-

form bracket and tighten.

Quick Release Fasteners: The foot platform is attached
to the power base with two quick release fasteners. See
figure 17. Each quick release fastener consists of a bolt, a
lever, and a nut. See figure 18. The lever has a cam on the
end that allows it to clamp into place. The quick release
fastener has two states: clamped and unclamped. When the
lever is open, the quick release fastener is unclamped. When
the lever is closed, the quick release fastener is clamped.
