.
Using either of these two methods, you can turn the footplate position from internal to external
(or vice versa) or from 2/3 internal to 2/3 external (or vice versa).
When reversing the footplate in either these two methods, you change the lock side, too.

CHANGING THE LOCK SIDE WHILE KEEPING THE SAME PLATE POSITION
Loosen the bolt
A
of the rotation side and remove the footplate.
The footplate tubular is fixed to the rotation support and to the lock support with two bolts
C
each side.
Screw off the four bolts
C
. If they result hard to unscrew, heat them with a hot air blower to make the lock thread glue lose its efficiency.
Slide off the support of the lock side. If it is hard to remove, insert it into the lock support (that is still fixed to the footplate tube) and pull it off
while turning it clockwise and anti-clock wise alternatively.
Loosen the bolt
A
of the lock side, remove the support and mount it, without fixing it, to the other side of the wheelchair.
Slide off the support of the rotation side. If it is hard to remove, insert it into the free adjustment support (where the lock support was earlier
mounted), fix it with the bolt
A
and pull it off while turning it clockwise and anti-clock wise alternatively.
Spread some mild or strong lock thread glue on the bolts
C
.
Insert the lock and rotation supports on the footplate tubular opposite and fix them with the bolts
C
.
Pay attention when fixing the rotation support, in fact, it can rotate on one direction only (if it is mounted opposite, the footplate can only ro-
tate downward).
Adjust the inclination
and tighten the bolts

FRICTIONING THE ROTATION
To adjust the friction of the footplate rotation movement, tighten or loosen the
bolt
D
.
It is advisable to remove the bolt, squeeze a little part of its thread with a long
nose pliers, spread a drop of strong thread lock glue, insert it and screw it. In
fact, the movement of the footplate can lead that bolt to unscrew itself. Usually,
when the footplate is lifted up the adjustment holds it in place.
