Elevating Leg rest
The 785 leg rest articulates and extends with the back recline.
The 35V legrest elevates with the back recline. This eliminates the
need for repositioning the leg rest after reclining the resident in
the chair. The leg rest can also be operated independently and is
adjustable anywhere between vertical and horizontal. When the
seat is tilted, the leg rest can be raised beyond vertical to become
parallel with the seat angle.
To Adjust the Leg Rest Independently of the Back Recline:
-Locate the leg rest handle on the lower side of the chair (right
side when facing the front of the chair)
(figure 1.4)
-
Hold the leg rest with your left hand and squeeze the handle with
your right hand
(figure 1.5)
-With your left hand, raise or lower the leg rest to the desired
angle.
-Release the handle for leg rest to remain in desired position

Flip Down Footrest (may be optional)
The optional Flip Down Footrest is detachable and length
adjustable. It allows for access to the seat surface without
removing the footrest.
To Attach the Footrest to the Leg Rest:
The footrest should be attached to the leg rest at the location,
which provides correct foot support for the resident as determined
by the caregiver. If a mechanical transfer is used by the caregiver,
the footrest should be left in a flipped down position.
-Locate the holes on the inside of the leg rest frame between the
leg rest straps
(figure 1.6)
-Insert the right end of the upper cross piece of the footrest into
the desired hole on the leg rest. Push the footrest to the right to
activate the spring mechanism in the cross piece of the footrest
(figure 1.7)
-Line up the left end of the cross piece with the corresponding
hole on the left side of the leg rest
(figure 1.8)
-Release the tension on the spring mechanism. The left end of the
cross piece will enter the hole.
Elevated Legrest
Note:
The leg rest articulates with changes to the back recline but
not with changes to the seat tilt. If the back is in the reclined position,
the leg cannot be lowered independently
