Brake lever extension
The longer lever helps to minimise the effort needed to set the wheel
locks.
The brake lever extension is screwed to the brakes.
By raising this, it can be flipped forward (Fig.5.6).
CAUTION!
Incorrect mounting of the wheel lock will result in a higher effort
to operate. This might cause the wheel lock extension lever to
break.

Compact brakes
Compact brakes are underneath the seat sling and are operated by
pulling the brakes towards the rear, in the direction of the tyre. For the
brakes to work properly, this must be pulled until it reaches the stops
(Fig.5.4).
Safari wheel lock (Wheel lock integrated into Side guard):
The Safari wheel lock are operated by pushing the lever forwards
(away from the patient's body).
To release the brakes, pull the lever back towards the body (Fig.5.5).

CAUTION!
• Do not stand on the footboard! Even if the user is sitting in the chair,
there is still a risk of tipping over and injury.
• When transferring, do not stand on the footboard, there is a risk of
tipping over and injury.
Adjusting the footrest
Removing the screw (1) will allow you to adjust the footrest to
correspond to the length of your lower leg and re-attach the footrest.
The angle of the footrest may be individually adjusted (not for footrest
with bar) by loosening screws (2). The side protection on the footrest
prevents the feet slipping off accidentally. Make sure that after any
adjustment work, all screws are tightened correctly (see the page on
torque) (Fig.5.7).
Flip-up footrest:
The footrest can be flipped up to the rear and this can make it easier
for the patient to transfer to/from the chair.The footrest is flipped up by
raising the front section. To return the footrest to its original position,
the front section must be flipped downwards (Fig.5.8).
High-mount footrest:
The high-mount footrest is fitted on the inner part of the frame and
permits a higher footrest position (Fig.5.9).
CAUTION!
The screws/bolts used on this wheelchair have thread locking fluid
applied at the factory. After five refits, either replace the screws/bolts
for new items or re-apply freash thread locking fluid, (intermediate
strength).
