WARNING
The use of an ALR can affect the stability
of the chair. Be especially careful when
riding up or down slopes.
With the leg in an elevated position it is
more likely that you 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.
Make sure that the Power lead to the
ALR’s are free of all mechanisms to ensure
that it does not get trapped and can be
pulled out. If this happens the ALR will
stop operating and you may be trapped
in 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
cloth.
Make sure that the legrest is completely
dry before using.
