Brake lever extension
The longer lever helps to minimise
the effort needed to set the wheel
locks. The brake lever extension is
screwed to the brakes. By raising
this, it can be flipped forward.
CAUTION!
Incorrect mounting of the wheel
lock will result in a higher effort
to operate. This might cause the
wheel lock extension lever to
break.
Leaning onto the wheel lock extension lever while transferring will
cause the lever to break. There is a risk it could break. Moving parts
may be made
dirty by spray water.

Lower leg length
By undoing the clamp screw (1),
you can adjust the lower leg length.
Loosen the clamp screw, adjust
the tube with the footboard to the
desired position.
Tighten clamp screws again (see the page on torque). Ensure that
the plastic push joint is located under the clamp screw in the correct
position.
Ensure that the plastic push joint is located under the clamp screw in

Angle-adjustable footboard The footboard can be
flipped up to make it easier to
transfer to/from the chair.
It can be adjusted to alter the angle to
the ground.
Tighten screw (1) on the outside. By
loosening the clips (2) the footboard
can be moved to three positions both
forwards and backwards. By adjust-
ing the set screw (3) the footboard
can be changed to a horizontal posi-
tion. To do this, the footboard must
be flipped up. Make sure that after
any adjustment work, all screws are
tightened correctly (see the page on

Footplates:
The footplates can be flipped up to make it easier
to transfer to/from the chair.
Lower leg length:
For users with longer legs, the leg support can
be lowered to the appropriate level by using the
screws. Loosen the screws, push the tubes to the
desired position and then re-tighten the screws
(see section on torque).
There must always be a minimum gap of 2.5 cm
between the footplates and the ground. (Fig. 11)
Angle-adjustable footboard (7.22)
It can be adjusted to alter the angle
to the ground. Release screw, pull it
inwards, set the desired angle and
then push it on. After making the
adjustment, re-tighten the screw. Make
sure that after any adjustment work, all
screws are tightened correctly (see the
page on torque).
Ensure that you maintain the minimum
gap to the floor (2.5 cm) (Fig. 12).
Footrests and latch
The legrests can be swung inwards under the seat sling or out-
wards.
When fitting the legrests, the footrests must be pointing inwards or
outwards. Then rotate the legrest inwards, until it locks into place. To
remove, pull the lever (1), swing the footplate inwards or outwards
and then lift the legrest out. Make sure that the legrest is locked into
place correctly (Fig. 13).
CAUTION:
The legrests should not be used to
lift or to carry the wheelchair.
CAUTION:
When getting on or off the wheel-
chair, do not use the footboards.
These should be flipped up before-
hand and be swung to the outside as
far as possible.
Flip-up footrest
To elevate:
Take the load off the footrest and release the hand wheel. Pull the
footrest upwards and set the desired height.
Secure the desired height by tightening the hand
wheel.
To lower:
Take the load off the footrest by lifting the lower
leg and release the interlock with the hand wheel
(Fig. 14).
In this way you can swing the footrest downwards.
As soon as you have reached the desired posi-
tion, secure the interlock with the hand wheel.
You can set the lower leg length by releasing the
screws, this is infinitely adjustable. (Fig. 15).
CAUTION:
Keep hands clear of the adjustment
mechanism between the frame and
the movable parts of the footrest while
elevating or lowering the footrest.
CAUTION:
The footrests should not be used to lift
or to carry the wheelchair.
CAUTION: Risk of trapping fingers!
When moving the footrest up or down,
do not put your fingers in the adjusting mechanism between
the moving parts of the footrest.
