use, the chair can be left in the ‘LEAN’ position which means the wheels are
vertical and you should be able to fit through all but the narrowest of doorways.
If you are venturing off-
road though we recommend switching to ‘MEAN’ mode
which changes the angle of the wheels by 8 degrees and makes the chair even
more stable over rougher terrain.
To change the camber simply turn the camber bar clockwise for LEAN or anti-
clockwise for MEAN, following the arrows on the centre of the bar. If this gets
stuck, you can often loosen the mechanism by gently rocking the wheels from side
to side.
Please note that the adjustment of the camber
cannot be done
with the user in
the chair and camber must be fully set in the MEAN or LEAN positions. This
means tightening the bar at either setting.
We recommend selecting the MEAN position wherever possible as this offers the
maximum stability. Do not alter the setting up screws in the black plastic blocks
at either end of the camber bar. These are for setting at service intervals only.

Footplate
Next up, you want to get the footplate out of the way. The below example shows
the upgraded locking and retracting footplate, but the same motion applies to the
standard footplate. To raise the footplate, either pull the lever upwards (for the
locking and retracting footplate) or push the footplate in by hand (or foot) if you
have the standard footplate. If you have the lever operated option, there is an
elastic loop just under the seat to hold the lever in place should you need it. This
