Instructions for Use – RECARO Sport HERO Reha
Footrest (Fig. 18)
With the footrest the user sits firmly in the rehab car seat because they can support their legs. This prevents the user
from sliding out of the seat onto the floor of the vehicle. The footrest can be folded to make it easier to get in and out.
With the footrest the user can practice getting in and out of the seat independently.
Push the footrest tubes into the front of the adapter. To do this, depress the catch springs on the footrest. Always secure
the footrest against falling out using the knurled nuts on the left tube of the footrest adapter. Multiple holes in the foot-
rest tubes allow the footrest to be adjusted to match the depth of the vehicle's seat.
Fig. 19: Inserting the support
To stabilize the footrest on the vehicle floor adjust the height of the support bars by screwing them in or out until they
have contact with the vehicle. Then lock the support bars with the hand knobs to prevent them unscrewing acciden-
tally. Screw the hand knobs upwards as far as possible and tighten them fast.
Fig. 20: Adjusting height to vehicle
Lower leg length:
The lower leg length is adjusted by changing the height of the footrest. Loosen both outer screws. Retighten them after
each adjustment.
Foot angle:
Loosen the four screws left and right on the underside of the footrest to adjust the desired foot angle with the rails. Then
retighten the screws.
Footrest pad (Fig. 21)
The footrest pad reduces the lower leg length required if the user's legs are not long enough.
Seat wedge, below (Fig. 22)
The seat wedge (below) is put on the vehicle's seat under the rehab car seat to tilt the car seat. Tilting the seat back is
good for children with little body tension and / or poor head control.
The seat wedge is positioned centrically below the car seat. The high edge is at the front to achieve an optimum rest
position of the child.
Please note: Function of the turning plate is considerably reduced if being used in combination with the seat wedge. We
therefore do not recommend using seat wedge and turning plate at the same time.

Table (Fig. 25)
The table is put in front of the user's stomach. It gives the user stability and a sense of security. The user can lean on
it and sit upright better. It blocks the view to the belt buckle and keeps the user from unbuckling it. The user can do
activities on the surface.
Mount the side parts of the table first, by pulling them over the round corners of the seat. The side with the larger fabric
must face outwards. Attach the fabric to the wheels for the seat adjustment using the provided holes in the cover of the
side parts. Then tuck the downwards overlaying fabric below the seat cover.
Fig. 26: Mounting the side parts
Now fasten the table to the hook and loop straps of the side parts. Guide the belt around the back of the seat and fasten
it to the hook and loop (fleece) at the side of the table.

Note: For reasons of space the crotch pad should be removed when using the table.
