ASSEMBLY
1. LEGRESTS
(FIG.10, PAG.2)
To remove:
After having unfastened the calf strap from its fixture, lift the catch (A) and turn the right footrest
towards the right and the left footrest towards the left. To remove the footrests from the chair, pull them upwards,
after they have been turned, to release them form the rotating pins.
To assemble
: Fit the footrests on the rotary pins, placing the right footrest on the right-hand side and the left
footrest on the left-hand side. Turn the footrests towards the centre of the chair until they come to a stop,
whereby they will be automatically secured to the chair. Refasten the calf strap to its fixture.
2. ARMRESTS
(FIG 11, PAG 2)
To loosen:
Press button (A) and pull armrest upwards while maintaining button depressed. In order to facilitate
removal, pull the front part of the armrest upwards.
To assemble:
Place the armrest on its anchoring devices (front part first). Press the button (A) and push the
armrest downwards. The armrest plate acts as a clothing guard against the wheel. As all these parts are secured
by screws, they can easily be replaced when necessary or when certain accessories have to be adapted.
Warning: Lock armrests by securing release latch mechanism before using the wheelchair. Never lift the
wheelchair by the armrests or footrests as these parts are detachable and it may cause damage to the
chair and/or injury to the user.

sure that they are fully inserted. Tighten screws M8 (C) until the whole unit is properly anchored, and avoid
removing the backrest in the future in order to prevent accidents.

nº10 spanner.
2. WHEEL LOCKS.
(FIG.3, PAG 1)
If the wheels are pneumatic, check for sufficient pressure. Loosen the locknut (A) with a nº13. Move the wheel
lock towards the wheel if a stronger braking action is required and move it away from the wheel for less braking
action. Retighten locknut (A) properly with the same. Check that the wheel turns freely when the lock is not
being applied but becomes fully blocked when the lock is applied.
