Footrest
1.
The footrest should come to you correctly installed. For your safety, the
clearance from the bottom of the footrest to the riding surface should be
between 1½” and 2”.
2.
If the footrest is either too high or too low, please have your Authorized
Dealer adjust it for you before using the chair.
3.
If the footrest comes loose or the height needs to be adjusted, you may use
a hex key to loosen both of the footrest clamps. You can then lower or
raise the footrest to the desired height. Tighten the set screws after you are
finished with the adjustment.
Padded Swing-Away Armrests
1.
Swing-away armrests can be added to the chair.
2.
Insert the bottom of the armrest into the receiver tube and align the
detent buttons to the slots in the receiver. If seated properly, your armrest
will be secure and will not move or swing-out.
3.
Pulling up slightly on the armrest will unlock it. It can then be rotated
rearwards or fully removed.
4.
During a transfer, the armrest is usually rotated out of the way or fully
removed.
Anti-Tip
1.
The anti-tip should come to you correctly installed. For your safety, check
the clearance from the bottom of the anti-tip to the riding surface. The
clearance should be between 1 ½” and 2”.
2.
If the anti-tip is either too high or too low, please have your Authorized
Dealer adjust it for you before using the chair.
3.
If you encounter an obstacle, flip the anti-tips up so that they clear the
obstacle and don’t get hung up, which can cause a safety issue for the rider.
The help of a caregiver may be needed to help with this action.
