Set footplate height and angle
The power center mount footrest allows angle adjustment from 90° to 180° level to ground and a 7.5-in
(190 mm) powered length extension.
The left and right footplate can be adjusted by an angle of +/-5.0° and has a mechanical height range adjustment
of 11.8-in to 16.7-in (301 mm to 424 mm) measured from the footplate to the seat pan.
