4.7. Leg supports

To make it as easy as possible to enter and leave your wheelchair, the
foot plates can be folded up, or the leg rests can be swung to the side
out of the way or removed.
• Open the lock to swing the leg rest to the side (fig. 37).
37
• The leg rest in the swung-out position can
be completely removed (fig. 38).
• For electrically adjustable leg rests, the connection cables
under the seat must initially be disconnected (fig. 39).
• When you want to replace the leg rest, proceed in reverse order.
• Move the leg rest to the forward position
until you hear it lock into place.

4.8. Head rest (optional)

The wheelchair can be equipped with an optional head rest. The
settings for the version with the comfort seat are described below; the
settings of the standard version are analogous.
• You can easily adapt the height of the head rest by pulling out
the push button (fig. 40) and moving the head rest to the desired
39
height. The push button latches in automatically and audibly.
• The position of the head rest can be adjusted and adapted to your
needs by loosening the lever screws. Then retighten the lever screws.

4.9. Kerb climber (optional)

The kerb climber (fig. 41) makes it easier for you to negotiate steps of
up to 100 mm.
Using the kerb climber requires a bit of skill and practice. Practice using
the kerb climber initially on manageable terrain with an accompanying
person.
Follow all safety instructions of the wheelchair when using the kerb
climber.
Caution: risk of falls! Always drive directly at
the kerb. Approaching it at an angle can lead to
accidents.
It is preferable to use ramps to surmount obstacles.
Only use the kerb climber if there are no ramps
available to you.
• Drive up to the kerb carefully and ensure that you can
clear the height of the kerb with the leg rests.
• Be sure to only drive directly at the kerb.
• The kerb should only be surmounted in the slowest driving mode.
• Carefully make contact with the kerb using the
kerb climber and slowly accelerate until the front
wheels have surmounted the obstacle.
• Then continue to drive slowly until the rear wheels
have also surmounted the obstacle.
