Manual Articulating Legrest (ALR)
Fitting
Follow the instructions for the fitting and
removal of footrests as stated on page
21and the adjustment of the footplates
as stated on page 22. see Fig. 21 and 22
below.
WARNING
The use of an ALR can affect the stability
of the chair. Be especially careful when
riding up or down slopes.
Depending on the flexibility and
strength of the user, it may not be
possible for them to adjust the height
of the manual ALR by themselves.
This may need to be carried out by
attendant.
With the leg in an elevated position it
is more likely that the user could injure
the leg on obstacles in the environment.
Make sure that you are aware of your
terrain and be cautious when driving
the chair that your leg cannot impact
on anything around you.
Do not drive your chair too close to any
source of open flame. With your leg
in an elevated position you may not
know that the bottom of the footplate
is getting hot.
Do not hang items from the legrest, or
allow anyone to stand on the legrest
with it in the elevated or non-elevated
position. This could cause injury to
them, to you or could cause damage
to the chair.
Inspect the legrest, footplate, calfpad
and heel loop regularly for signs of
damage or wear. Damage to the legrest
could result in the users leg being
dropped and could cause injury.
Cleaning Instructions
Footrest and calfpad - Clean with a damp
soapy cloth.
Paintwork - Clean with a damp, soapy

Make sure that the legrest is completely
