Divided and Platform
Footplates (7.22)
Footplates can be flipped up to
facilitate getting in and getting
out of your wheelchair.
They can also be tilted to six diffe-
rent angles relative to a level surfa-
ce. Tighten screw (1) firmly on the
outer side. By removing the clips
(2), the footplate can be adjusted
to three different positions toward
both the front and rear. Loosen the
adjustment screw (3) to change the
horizontal position of the footplate.
For this purpose, the footplate
must be flipped up. When finished,
make sure that all screws have
been properly tightened (see the
page on torque). A minimum inter-
val of 2.5 centimeters from the gro-
und should always be maintained.
Options – Footrests and Latch
Footrests and Latch (7.23)
Install your footrest by inserting it
with the footplate(s) pointing
toward the outside. Then rotate it
toward the inside until it locks into
place (1). To remove the footrest,
depress the latch (2), swing the
footrest toward the outside and
remove it. Make sure that the foot-
rest is properly locked into place.
CAUTION:
The footrests should not be
used to lift or to carry the
wheelchair with an occupant.
Little effort is needed to adjust the
footrest by means of an eccentric
hex nut. Adjustments can be chan-
ged as follows: Remove screw.
Adjust the eccentric hex nut.
Check if the locking mechanism
engages and disengages properly.
To make fast again, tighten the
screw firmly while using a wrench
to hold the eccentric hex nut secu-
rely (see the page on torque).

ten the screw (see the page on torque).
Options – Castor
Adjusting the castor (7.42.3)
To ensure that both forks are set parallel, sim-
ply 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-angled
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.
