Options - Footplates

Footplates:
The footplates can be flipped up to make it
easier to transfer to/from the chair.
Lower leg length:
For users with longer legs, the leg support can
be lowered to the appropriate level by using
the screws (1). Loosen the screws, push the
tubes to the desired position and then
re-tighten the screws (see section on torque).
There must always be a minimum gap of 3 cm
between the footplates and the ground (Fig.
13).
Footrests and latch
The legrests can be swung inwards under the seat sling or
outwards.
When fitting the legrests, the
footrests must be pointing inwards
or outwards. Then rotate the legrest
inwards, until it locks into place. To
remove, pull the lever (1), swing the
footplate inwards or outwards and
then lift the legrest out. Make sure
that the legrest is locked into place
correctly (Fig. 15).
CAUTION:
The legrests must not be used to
lift or to carry the wheelchair.
CAUTION:
When getting on or off the wheelchair, do not use the
footboards. These should be flipped up beforehand or the
footrest should be swung to the outside as far as possible.
Elevating footrest
To elevate:
Take the load off the footrest and release the
hand wheel (1). Pull the footrest upwards and
adjust to the desired height. Secure the desired
height by tightening the hand wheel.
To lower:
Take the load off the footrest by lifting the lower
leg and release the interlock with the hand
wheel (1) (Fig. 16).
In this way you can swing the footrest
downwards.
As soon as you have reached the desired
position, secure the interlock with
the hand wheel.
You can set the lower leg length by
releasing the screws (2), this is
infinitely adjustable (Fig. 17).
CAUTION:
Keep hands clear of the
adjustment mechanism between
the frame and the movable parts
of the footrest while elevating or lowering the footrest.
CAUTION:
The footrests should not be used to lift or to carry the
wheelchair.
CAUTION: Risk of trapping fingers!
When moving the footrest up or down, do not put your fingers
in the adjusting mechanism between the moving parts of the
footrest.
Amputee support
The amputee support can be
adjusted in every direction, as
required (Fig. 18).

Options - Castors

Castors, castor plates, forks
The wheelchair may veer slightly to the right or left, or the castors
may wobble. This may be caused by the following:
• Forward and/or reverse wheel motion has not been set properly.
• The castor angle has not been set correctly.
• Castor and/or rear wheel air pressure is incorrect; the wheels do
not turn smoothly.
The wheelchair will not move in a straight line if the castors have not
been properly adjusted. Castors should always be adjusted by an
authorised dealer. The castor plates must be re-adjusted, and the
wheel locks must be checked every time the rear wheel position has
been altered.
The seat height is determined by the castor and rear wheel position.
The seat height can be adjusted by altering the position of the rear
wheels and the castors.
CAUTION:
After adusting the seat height, all screws must be re-tightened and
the wheel lock must be readjusted.
Options – Rear Wheel Extension
Position of the rear wheel
extension (Fig. 23)
The rear wheel extension can
be fitted behind the backtube for
greater security against tipping
over.
The larger the wheelbase the
greater security against your wheelchair tipping over.
CAUTION!
Wheel locks must be adjusted to match the new position!

Options - Backrest

Height-adjustable backrest
The height of the backrest can be
set to 2 different positions (41 cm
and 43.5 cm). Release and remove
the bolts (1), and push the backrest
sling to the desired position. Tighten
up the bolts again (Fig. 24).
Half folding back
Unfolding the backrest:
To put the backrest in the upright
position, push the handles upwards
and forwards until they lock in.
Keep fingers and other
items away from the
folding mechanism
when the backrest is
being folded to prevent
injury or damage to
property.
Folding the backrest:
The backrest can be folded to make
storage of the wheelchair easier.
Do not operate under load as this
may cause lever to break.
To fold the backrest, stand behind
the wheelchair, press the two small
levers (Fig. 27 + 28) positioned
on each side of the backrest (just
above the armrests). Fold the backrest down.
