4.3: Fit and adjust the armrests:
Fig 4.3.1
To fit the armrest, loosen thumbscrew A
(turn anti clockwise) and release the spring
catch B by turning 90 degrees in either
direction. Whilst holding catch B in this
position, push the armrest into the socket.
Ensure that the holes on the armrest stem
are facing catch B.
To lock: Release catch B when the armrest
is at the desired height, and tighten
thumbscrew A to secure.
To adjust the height, loosen the thumbscrew
and release catch B, adjust the height and
lock as described above.
TIP: When folding the wheelchair for transport, always remove the armrest first, and then
fold the back.
4.4: Footrests (optional):
The footrests are fitted to the wheelchair when it is supplied (if ordered). They can be
moved forward and back, up and down. The footplate can be lifted to the vertical position
for easy transfers in and out of the wheelchair.
To adjust the footrest depth:
Loosen thumbscrew ‘C’ (see right), until the
footrest stem is free to move.
Move the footrest stem to the desired
location, then re tighten the thumbscrew.
