footplate adjustment
divided and platform
footplates
(fig. 6.4 - 6.6)
Footplates can be flipped up to
facilitate getting in and getting
out of your wheelchair.
They can also be tilted to six
different angles relative to a
level surface. Tighten screw (1)
firmly on the outer side.
By removing the clips (2), the
footplate can be adjusted to
three different positions toward
both the front and rear.
Loosen the adjustment screw
(3) to change the horizontal
position of the footplate. For
this purpose, the footplate must
be flipped up. When finished,
make sure that all screws have
been properly tightened (see
the page on torque). A minimum
interval of 2.5 centimeters from
the ground should always be
maintained.
adjusting the footrest (fig.6.7)
Removing screw (1) will allow
you to adjust the footrest to
correspond to the length of
your lower leg. The angle of
the footrest may be indi vi d ual ly
adjusted (not rigid foot rest) by
loosening nuts (2). The footrest
bracket (3) prevents feet from
un inten tion ally slipping out place.
When finished, make sure that
all screws have been properly
tightened (see the page on
torque).
castors, castor plates, forks
From time to time the wheelchair may veer slightly to the right
or left, or the castors may flutter. This may be caused by the fol-
low ing:
Forward and/or reverse wheel motion has not been set •
properly.
The castor angle has not been adjusted properly. •
Castor and/or rear wheel air pressure is incorrect; wheels •
do not turn smoothly.
The wheelchair will not move in a straight line if the castors
have not been properly ad justed. Castors should always be
adjusted by an authorized dealer. The castor plates must be
readjusted, and the wheel locks must be checked any time the
rear wheel posi tion has been altered.

adjusting the castor (fig.6.9 - 6.10)
To ensure that both forks are set parallel,
simply count the teeth visible on both sides.
After setting the castor fork, the teeth will
guarantee a secure position, allowing an
adjustment of 16° in 2° increments.
Use the flat side to check for a right-angled
position to the ground.
The patented design allows the castor fork
to be turned, so that it can be reset at right-
angles to the ground when the seat angle is
changed.
adjusting the seat height
(fig.6.8)
To adjust rear seat height, slacken
and remove the 4 Torx screws
(1) (2 each side) and the thread
washer (2), which secures the
clamp (3) for the camber tubes
to the axle plates (4). Adjust the
two camber tube clamps (3) to the
required height and replace the 4
Torx screws. Before tightening the
screws, please follow the instructions for setting the toe-in/toe-
out to zero (See Fig.6.13 - 6.15).
Tighten the screws to 7 Nm.
NOTE – An adjustment to the castor angle may be necessary
when adjusting the rear seat height.
