Power Articulating Leg Rests
The power articulating leg rests maintain the correct knee-
to-heel measurements when the user’s legs are being
elevated and can be adjusted either as a pair or individually.
See figure 13.
The power articulating leg rests provide 70°
or 80° of movement, have standard swing-away/height and
depth adjustable calf pads (
see figure 17
), accept all foot
plates, and have a maximum weight capacity of 300 lbs.
(136 kg). They are available with all power bases that support
upgraded electronics and with the Synergy Seating System.
The power articulating leg rests operate through the power
chair controller or toggle switch.
NOTE: Operation instructions using the joystick 4-way
toggles are discussed below. If you are using a different
toggle, the Attendant Control Module, or a different
operating device, please refer to the operation manual
supplied with that device and/or your power chair
owner’s manual.
To operate the combined leg rests:
1. Push the toggle switch to the right to elevate both leg
rests.
2. Push the toggle switch to the right, release, then push to
the right again to lower both leg rests.
NOTE: For information on operating individual power
articulating leg rests, please refer to the operation
manual that refers to the operating device you are using,
or contact your Pride/Quantum Rehab Provider.
