Adjustment Procedures
Swing-away Footrest
Length Adjustment
Adjustments are made with the user sitting in the
wheelchair with feet on footplates.
1) Use a spanner to loosen the bolt at the rear of the
footrest support hanger.
2) Adjust the footplate up or down as needed to provide
maximum support of thighs on the seat upholstery, then re-tighten the bolt.
WARNING!
Ensure that desired front rigging adjustment does not cause pressure to legs
at front of seat upholstery.
Heel and Calf Straps
(if fitted)
Your wheelchair is equipped with heel straps which are secured on the footplates
or calf straps which are attached on the footrest support tubes. The calf straps are
tension adjustable with the aid of Velcro.
Seat Belt
(if fitted)
Hold the bayonet end in one hand, and pull on the webbing to increase or de-
crease belt length with the other. When length is correct, adjust slide buckle to
suit.
Anti-tippers
(if fitted)
These are fitted at the rear of the chair, adjacent to the rear wheels and Days rec-
ommends that these are fitted, especially when climbing kerbs and gradients.
