Legrest Adjustment

Note: Always ensure the

bolt is sufficiently

tightened after adjustment.

For optimum comfort it is

important to attain the correct

leg position. The footrests

have been designed so that

they can be extended into a

number of fixed positions. To

do this, release the bolt using

the spanner (see diagram)

and turning clockwise (1).

Then adjust the footplate to

lengthen or shorten the

legrest (2). Finally, tighten the

bolt by using the spanner and

turning anticlockwise (3).

Folding the Wheelchair

The wheelchair has been designed with an easy fold

mechanism. To fold the chair, ensure that the footrests are in

the forward position and that the plastic footplates are flipped

up. Holding the front and rear edge of the seat sling, pull the

seat in an upward motion. The wheelchair will naturally fold up.
