V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
L. Elevating Leg Rest
1. Installation
a. Place swing-away pivot saddle into the receiver on front frame tube with the footrest facing
either inward or outward from the frame. Similar to swing-away footrest pictured in Fig. 9
and Figure 10 on page 22.
b. Rotate the footrest so it aligns with the frame until it locks into place in the latch block.
2. Removal
a. To remove footrest, push release latch toward the frame.
b. Rotate footrest outward and lift.
3. Extension Tube Adjustment
a. Remove mounting bolt that is threaded into the leg rest tube in the center of the pad bracket
(Fig. 17:C). In some circumstances this bolt may be inserted in the tube below the pivot
bracket.
b. Slide footrest extension tube to the desired height.
c. Line up holes and replace the bolt through leg rest tube and extension tube.
d. Follow same procedure on opposite side.
4. Angle Adjustment
a. To raise, lift up on the rear of the extension tube (Fig.
17:A). The rod will slide through the ratchet in this direc-
tion. Stop at desired position.
b. To lower, firmly hold the leg from behind the extension
tube (Fig. 17:A). Pull forward on the lever (Fig. 17:B)
and while holding the lever, lift the leg rest. Releasing
the lever will cause the leg rest to lock into position.
To Avoid a Trip or Fall When You Transfer:
a. Make sure your feet do not get caught in the space
between the footrests.
b. Avoid putting weight on the footrests as the chair may tip forward.
WARNING: At the lowest point, footrests should be AT LEAST 2 ½ INCHES off the ground. If set
too low, they may "catch" on obstacles you would expect to find in normal use. This may cause
the chair to stop suddenly and tip forward and could result in a fall or loss of control and may
cause serious injury or death.
DANGER: Never attempt to lift the chair by the hangers; they may break or disconnect resulting
in a fall or loss of control and may cause serious injury or death.
