The  footrests  are  fitted  to  the  wheelchair  when  it  is  supplied  (if  ordered).  They  can  be 
moved forward and back, up and down. The footplate can be lifted to the vertical position 
for easy transfers in and out of the wheelchair. 
 

To adjust the footrest depth: 
 
Loosen thumbscrew ‘C’ (see right), until the 
footrest stem is free to move. 
 
Move  the  footrest  stem  to  the  desired 
location, then re tighten the thumbscrew.
