Options – Footplate Adjustment
Adjusting the Footrest
(7.25)
Removing screw (1) will allow you
to adjust the footrest to corre-
spond to the length of your lower
leg. The angle of the footrest may
be individually adjusted (not rigid
footrest) by loosening screws (2).
The side protection on the footrest
prevents the feet slipping acciden-
tally. When finished, make sure
that all screws have been properly
tightened (see the page on torque).
Options - Castor
Castors, Castor Plates, Forks
From time to time the wheelchair may veer slightly
to the right or left, or the castors may flutter. This
may be caused by the following:
• Forward and/or reverse wheel motion has not
been set properly.
• The castor angle has not been adjusted properly.
• Castor and/or rear wheel air pressure is incorrect;
wheels do not turn smoothly.
The optimum adjustment of the castors is required
for the wheelchair to run in a straight line. Castors
should always be adjusted by an authorized dealer.
The castor plates must be readjusted, and the
wheel locks must be checked any time the rear
wheel position has been altered.

To adjust rear seat height, slacken
and remove the 4 Torx screws (1)
(2 each side) and the thread was-
her (2), which secures the clamp
(3) for the camber tubes to the axle
plates (4). Adjust the two camber
tube clamps (3) to the required
height and replace the 4 Torx scr-
ews. Before tightening the screws,
please follow the instructions for

NOTE – An adjustment to the castor angle may
be necessary when adjusting the rear seat
height.

Adjusting the castor
(7.42.3)
To ensure that both forks are set parallel,
simply count the teeth visible on both
sides.
After setting the castor fork, the teeth will
guarantee a secure position, allowing an
adjustment of 16° in 2° increments.
Use the flat side to check for a right-ang-
led position to the ground.
The patented design allows the castor
fork to be turned, so that it can be reset at
right-angles to the ground when the seat
angle is changed.
