2.8 Setting the elevating leg rests.
The procedure for attaching, removing or setting the height
is identical to that for standard leg rests.
Before adjusting, ensure the brakes are applied to prevent
the wheelchair rolling. With the aid of an assistant to
adjust the elevation of the leg rests, slacken the
handle (shown in fig. 13) at the top of the elevating foot
rest. This will allow the foot rests to be raised or lowered.
Once the desired position is achieved, tighten the handle.
A calf support can be moved up or down by slackening
the cap head bolts with a 5mm allen key. The foot support
can be easily adjusted up to 20cm by slackening
the cap head bolt and re-tightening after adjustment.
3.1 Operating the parking brake
The brakes are one of the most important safety elements
of your wheelchair. You must always make sure that they
are functioning correctly. Braking can be affected by
damaged tyre tread, wet tyres, or by a loose brake
mechanism. To operate the parking brake press both
brake levers forward to apply the brakes. To release the
brakes simply pull back on both brake levers (see fig. 14).
Care should be taken to avoid
entrapment in the mechanism when
adjusting
