Legrest Adjustment

Note: Always ensure the
bolt is sufficiently
tightened after adjustment.
For optimum comfort it is
important to attain the correct
leg position. The footrests
have been designed so that
they can be extended into a
number of fixed positions. To
do this, release the bolt using
the spanner (see diagram)
and turning clockwise (1).
Then adjust the footplate to
lengthen or shorten the
legrest (2). Finally, tighten the
bolt by using the spanner and
turning anticlockwise (3).
Folding the Wheelchair
The wheelchair has been designed with an easy fold
mechanism. To fold the chair, ensure that the footrests are in
the forward position and that the plastic footplates are flipped
up. Holding the front and rear edge of the seat sling, pull the
seat in an upward motion. The wheelchair will naturally fold up.
