IV. WHEELCHAIR USE & CONFIGURATION
L. Angle Adjustable Footrest
How to Adjust the Angle of the Angle Adjustable Footplate:
1. Use a 4mm Allen wrench to loosen the two screws (Fig. 7:A) that secure the footplate to the
footplate clamp. Do not remove the screws from the footplate.Once loose, the footplate will
easily rotate around the footrest extension tube.
2. Select the desired position and retighten the two M6 screws (Fig. 7:A) to 80 in./lbs (9.04
N*m).
Changing the Position of the Aluminum Flip-Up Footplate:
1. Remove both M6 screws from the footplate. There are M6 nylock nuts recessed on the
underside of the clamp. Be sure to prevent these from falling as you loosen the screws.
2. Adjust the footplate by rotating it either forward or rearward, depending on the desired angle.
Once the preferred position is achieved, reinsert the screws into the appropriate holes.
3. Fit the nuts into the slot underneath the clamp and tighten the screws securely.
M. Wheel Locks
WARNING: Underinflated or worn tires may cause your wheel locks to not function
properly. Failure of the wheel locks to hold your chair could cause a loss of control or fall
resulting in serious injury or death.
How to Adjust Your Wheel Locks
NOTE: Always loosen and tighten wheel hardware by alternating between the two bolts
while loosening/tightening a little at a time. This prevents overclamping on one set of
hardware which leads to binding of the fasteners and increased difficulty in removal.
1. Use a 6mm Allen wrench to loosen the clamp bolt (Fig. 8:A).
2. Adjust the wheel lock assembly forward or backward along the lock mount tube until the
wheel lock is in a position where it will properly secure the tire.
3. Use a 6mm Allen wrench to retighten the clamp bolt.
