Footrest; Getting Into And Out Of The Wheelchair; From The Side; From The Front - Otto Bock A 200 Bedienungsanleitung

7.5 Footrest

Figure 13
To remove the footrest, the calf band must be unhooked first. Now it is easy to release the footrest lock and
then swing away the footrest either inwards or outwards as shown in figure 13. When in this position, the foot-
rest can be pulled upwards and removed.
Note:
Take care not to get your fingers jammed when swinging the footrest away or back in place (Fig. 13).
For remounting, first relocate the footrest in the inner position and swing it back into position so the lock
engages. Finally, reattach the calf band to the holding device.
By loosening the screw at the rear of the hanger, the footrest height can be adjusted to suit the lower leg length
and compensate for the seat cushion height the user uses.
Note:
Ensure all screws are firmly retightened after making any adjustments.

8 Getting Into and Out of the Wheelchair

Thanks to the modular design of the A200, it is easy to get into and out of the wheelchair. The armrests and
footrests can be removed easily and thus allow easy access for transfer from the side or from the front.

8.1 From the Side

Move the A200 power wheelchair as close as possible to the seat. Remove the armrest on the side where the
user will get into the wheelchair (Fig. 10). The footrest can also be removed if necessary (Fig. 13). Now the
user can slide onto the wheelchair's seat. Use of a transfer board will make transfer easier.

8.2 From the Front

After flipping up the two footplates, the user can get into and out of the wheelchair from the front (Fig. 15).
