Warning: The lowest part of the footrests should be no closer to the ground than 2-
1/2 inches (5.5 cm), to permit proper clearance.
Warning: Do not stand on the footplates; this could cause the wheelchair to tip.
Remove footrest
1. To release lock, pull swingaway release lever forward, toward
front of wheelchair. Footrest will swing outward.
2. To detach, lift footrest straight up.
Attach footrest
1. Set footrest on wheelchair (so that footrest hinge plates engage
wheelchair hinge pins).
2. Swing footrest inward.
3. Ensure that footrest is locked in place and that swingaway
release lever is locked in a rearward position, toward back of
wheelchair.

To adjust footrest length, you will loosen the clamp that holds the footplate extension inside the
footrest hanger.

clamp.
4. Follow steps 1-3 to adjust other footplate.
