GUiDElinEs FOr UsinG ThE FOOTrEsT
Use the footrest properly to ensure that is does not interfere
with patient’s or operators’ feet.
●
Before transferring the patient onto the chair, make
sure the footrest is raised in the storage position. Seat
the patient before lowering the footrest.
●
When preparing to transfer the patient off the chair,
unfasten the ankle restraint and raise the footrest into
the storage position
before
unfastening the patient’s
torso and lap restraints. This will prevent the patient
from attempting to stand before the footrest has been
stored out of the way of his/her feet.
●
Keep the footrest raised when it is not in use.

Stay with the chair and maintain control of it at all times. Do
not use the wheel locks as a substitute for operator control.
To engage a wheel lock
, press down the rear end of the lock
pedal (Figure 16).
