2) FOOTREST
The footrest can be adjusted to any allowable HEIGHT by loosening the pinch clamp
screw (3/16” allen wrench) on both pinch clamps and raising or lowering the footplate to
the desired height. TIP: To make it easier to slide the footrest up and down, remove the
pinch clamp screws and LIGHTLY tap a small screwdriver between the split in the
clamps.
To move the footplate forward or rearward, remove the two screws, (1/8” allen wrench)
Move plate to desired holes and reinstall screws. We highly recommend using ‘blue’
(#242) loctite on all hardware when reinstalling.
3) REAR ANTI-TIPS
In a ‘perfect’ world, it would be best to have ALL wheels on the ground, but since gym
floors are not perfect, you need to have .25”-.5” clearance.
Our chairs leave the shop with .5”+/- clearance. Due to customer weight, this may have to
be adjusted. Adjusting them too low may cause you to ‘high center’ on an uneven floor,
resulting in lost traction with your big wheels. Adjusting them too high causes wasted
motion as your pushing energy is used to ‘wheelie’ your chair, rather than propel you
forward.
To adjust the height, using a screwdriver or putty knife, pry off the black plastic plugs on
top of the caster housing to expose the caster stem bolt and nut. Remove the nut with a
¾” socket, lift the rear of the chair and remove the caster assembly. To lower the caster,
Remove washer/s from top and slide onto caster stem. To raise, remove washer/s from
caster stem and add to top. Re-install nut and tighten until caster does not rotate freely,
Then back it off slightly until caster rotates with minimal effort.
Caution! Make certain to change both sides equally, i.e. thick / thin washers.
4) LAP BELT ATTACHMENT
On the brace that attaches the seat back to the main frame, you will find an allen head
screw (1/8” allen wrench) that is provided for attachment of a lap belt. To attach a lap
belt, simply remove screw and washer, insert thru belt and re-attach.
