The Footrests
The footrests can be swung out and the black plastic foot plate can be folded down (parallel
to the ground) or up. Pull the footrest tube at the apex upward in order to release the
current position and rotate the tube in the desired position. When you let go, the footrest
will lock automatically in the folded or open position. During use of the wheelchair, it is
most important to have the footrests down. To fold the wheelchair, the footrests should be
folded up.
If desired, the footrests can be completely removed by simply pulling out the plastic rings
(1) and lifting the entire arch of the foot rests out of their sockets. Be careful not pinch your
fingers when assembling and removing the leg rests.
The plastic footrest plate can be adjusted in height to allow the user maximum comfort. The
small bolt can be removed from the base of the plastic footrest tray and re-inserted into one
of the three possible elevation holes on the footrest tube by using the Allen key provided
with the wheelchair.
Getting in and out
Make sure that you have tested your individual mobility limits with an expert before the
first use of your wheelchair. During untrained entering and exiting of the wheelchair, it can
become unstable and tip over. The brakes must absolutely be locked during those
manoeuvres. Footrests must be folded up or can be removed.
Sitting and Moving in the Chair
Sit comfortably in your wheelchair and enjoy the back support! Never lean over the backrest
to get to an object, as the wheelchair may tip over. Also avoid trying to reach anything
between your knees on the floor because the wheelchair could tip forward.
