Elevating Legrests for 1500 & 1530 Manual Wheelchairs
The optional elevating legrest enables the wheelchair to be used by patients
with limited leg flexability or if wearing plaster casts.
The legrest fits as the standard swing in / out legrest.
Function
Once fitted the legrest may be raised to the desired angle by lifting at point
‘C’. It uses a ratchet system and will automatically lock in position when
released.
To release the legrest back to it’s default position, support the end of the
legrest at ‘C’ and depress the grey release button ‘A’. You will need to keep
the legrest supported and the button depressed to allow it to fully lower. DO
NOT allow the legrest to drop.
Depressing the lever ‘B’ allows the footrest to swing in, out or enable it to be
removed.
Adjustment
The footplate depth may be
adjusted by slackening the
bolt circled opposite with a
13mm spanner. Adjust to the
required depth then re-tighten.
DO NOT fully undo the bolt as
this may cause problems
when re-tightening.
