A . SWING-AWAY FOOTREST
A SSEMBLY INSTA LLATION (Fig.1)
1. Turn the footrest to the side (open footplate is perpendicular
to wheelchair).
2. Install the hinge plates (A) on the footrest onto the hinge
pins (B) on the wheelchair frame.
3. Push the footrest towards the inside of the wheelchair until
it locks into place.
NOTE– The footplate will be on the inside of the wheelchair when
locked in place.
4. Repeat this procedure for the other footrest assembly.
5. To release the footrest, push the footrest release lever (C)
inward, rotate footrest outward.
B. SWING-AWAY FOOTREST HEIGHT
A DJUSTMENT (Fig 2)
At the lowest point, footrests should be AT LEAST 2 1/2 INCHES
off the ground. If set too LOW, they may “hang up” on obstacles
you can expect to find in normal use. This may cause the chair to
stop suddenly and tip forward.
NOTE– Release the footrest locking mechanism and lift the footrest
off of the hinge pins. Lay the assembly on a flat surface to
simplify this procedure.
1. Loosen, but do not remove the bolt and locknut (D) that
secure the lower footrest assembly (E) to the upper
footrest support (F).
2. Reposition the lower footrest assembly to the desired height.
3. Securely tighten the bolt and locknut.
4. Repeat this procedure for the other footrest, if necessary.
