Adjusting the length of the leg supports
•
Loosen the Allen screw on the lower end of the
upper part of the leg support.
•
Pull the hexagonal inner tube out to the required
length.
•
Tighten the Allen screw once more.
L
When withdrawing the hexagonal tube,
ensure that at least 5 cm of the tube remains
in the upper part of the leg support.
L
There must be a gap of at least 6 cm between the ground and the footplate, or the
wheelchair's leg supports will knock against the ground when it is moving.
L
Never stand on the footplates. They should only be used to rest the feet on. You could fall !
L
The manufacturer cannot assume liability for damage caused by the leg supports hitting the
ground.
Before getting in and out - Fold up the footplates!
ARMRESTS
In the standard model the armrests can be folded down to the rear or removed backwards. The
arresting device (2) is mounted on the frame tube (1) to secure the armrests.
Removing the armrest
Press the operating lever (1) of the armrest locking device (2). Pull the armrest up and out, or fold it
away to the rear.
Do the opposite when replacing the armrest, but note that the rear bolt of the armrest (3) is inserted
first before the front bolt (4) is lowered into the armrest socket (2). If the operating lever (1) does not
lock automatically after emplacing the armrest, secure it manually.
When positioning an armrest, note that there is a guiding and stopping block (5) behind the back tube
which ensures the lateral stability of the armrests. The supporting belts are located on the rear armrest
tube. When tilted, the armrest cannot really help.
L
Before use, make sure that the armrests are securely locked in place.
L
Never grasp the wheelchair by the armrests when picking it up for transportation, but only by
solid frame parts (see also the chapter "For your safety".)
