N. FOOTREST HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the height of your footrest, loosen the screw (A) on both footrest clamps. Slide the
footrest up or down to the new desired height and tighten the two set screws. Use a torque
setting of 144 in-lbs (16.3 Nm). It is recommended that you maintain a minimum of 2.0 inch-
es (5 cm) between the lowest point on the footrest and the floor. This will provide adequate
clearance for uneven surfaces and prevent damage to your footrest.
O. WHEEL LOCKS
Quickie GT and Quickie GTi wheelchairs are shipped with one of five types of wheel locks.
Wheel locks are installed at the factory unless you have requested otherwise.
Use a torque setting of 100 in.-lbs. when setting up wheel locks.

e. Tighten screws to 144 in-lbs. (16.3 Nm).
2. Ergo Scissor Wheel Locks
