2.1.2 Footplates and Front Rigging
WARNING!
Risk of Serious Injury or Damage
Operating the wheelchair with a ground clearance of
less than 75 mm (3 inches) between the footplates and
the ground/floor may cause serious injury or property
damage.
– ALWAYS maintain a minimum of 75 mm (3
inches) between the bottom of the footplates and
ground/floor to ensure proper ground clearance while
the wheelchair is in motion. If necessary, adjust the
footplates height to achieve proper ground clearance.
After footplates height adjustment, if the wheelchair
dips forward and the footplates touch the ground
while in motion, please contact your dealer for an
inspection and avoid use of the wheelchair if possible.
CAUTION!
Risk of Damage
Interference between footrests and front casters may
cause damage.
– When determining the depth of the telescoping front
frame tubes, make sure the rear of the footrests do
not interfere with the movement of the front casters.
Otherwise damage to the wheelchair may result or
may impede proper operation.
2.1.3 Reaching, Leaning and Bending - Forward
Many activities require the wheelchair user to reach, bend and
transfer in and out of the wheelchair. These movements will cause
a change to the normal balance, center of gravity, and weight
distribution of the wheelchair. To determine and establish your
particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring
activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified
healthcare professional before attempting active use of the wheelchair
Engage motor locks and turn power off before reaching, leaning or
bending only as far as your arm will extend without changing your
sitting position. Position the casters so that they are extended away
from the drive wheels and engage wheel locks/motor locks/clutches.
2.1.4 Reaching, Bending - Backward
Position wheelchair as close as possible to the desired object.
Position the casters so that they are extended away from the drive
wheels to create the longest possible wheelbase, engage the motor
