ADJUSTING 

THE HIP GUIDE

 

 
The  hip  guide  can  be  adjusted  for  height  by  releasing  the  hand 
wheel as shown. 
 
 
INCREASING WIDTH OF HIP GUIDE 
 
To  increase  or  decrease  the  seat  width,  the  hip  guides  can  be 
pulled  outwards.    This  is  achieved  by  using  a  hand  wheel  which 
grips the main attaching bar of the hip guide to the base of the seat. 
This handwheel is found underneath the seat.  The hand wheel can be loosened and the hip guide 
will  then  slide  out  to  the  preferred  position.    The  hip  guides  will  slide  out  individually  to  fit  the 
occupant.  The hand wheel will then need to be tightened in the new position before use. 
 

MOVING THE POMMEL 

 
The pommel can be taken off the seat to assist with putting the 
child  in  the  wheelchair.    This  can  be  done  by  loosening  the 
screw fitting in the centre (on the underneath of the chair) at the 
front.    When  the  screw  is  loosened,  the  pommel  bar  will  slide 
out  of the bar attached to the base,  and the pommel will come 
off  the  chair.    This  can  be  replaced  by  sliding  back  into  the 
holder and the screw tightened. 

Ensure the pommel is firmly secured before setting off. 
 

THE DOUBLE FOOTREST  

 
The double footrest is made up of two separate footholders with a back support and a grip base to 
ensure the child’s foot is secure.  Each foot piece is angle adjustable. 
 

THE SINGLE FOOTREST 

 
The  angle  of  the  footrest  can  be  adjusted  by  using  the  lever 
handle  on  the  bar  underneath.    When  this  lever  handle  is 
unwound, the footrest can be tipped back or forward to re-position 
it.   When  the  preferred  position  is  obtained the  lever  handle  can 
be tightened.  To re-position the handle, the centre button can be 
pushed in and the handle moved to a different position. 
 
 
TO LOWER THE FOOTREST 
 
If the footrest is too high or too low for the child this can be 
adjusted by loosening the bolt on the end of the bar which is 
attached to the chair.  Then the bar can be lowered or raised to 
suit the child.  When re-positioned, the bolt should be tightened 
and the footrest is ready to use.
