Footrest
Adjusting the Footrest
Each leg should absorb equal pressure. The foot rest can be
adjusted by:
1. Loosening the screw on the footrest rings using an
Allen wrench (two full turns should do it.)
2. Using a rubber mallet, tap the footrest (up or down)
to desired position. Be sure that you adjust both
sides equally.
3. Retighten the screw on the footrest rings.
4. To change foot plate angle, loosen screws adjust
angle then retighten.

TIRES
On a day to day basis, it is important to check the tire wear and the
pressure. Tires with excessive wear or that are over or under inflated
will, in most cases, compromise the comfort and performance of the
chair. It is important to keep the tire pressure within the indicated
range. The recommended air pressure is indicated on the sidewall of
the tire. The type of wheel supplied with your Colours chair may vary.
RIMS
At least once a year you should have your wheels serviced by an au-
thorized Colours dealer. If you notice loose or broken spokes, you
should have them replaced as soon as possible.
BEARINGS
The bearings on your Colours wheelchair are sealed and do not need
lubrication or other maintenance. It is, however, a good idea to in-
spect your axles and bearings on a regular basis. We suggest that you
remove hair or other foreign objects that can degrade the performance
of these components.
