Adjustment Procedures

Swing-away Footrest
Length Adjustment
Adjustments are made with the user sitting in the wheelchair with feet on
footplates.
1. Use a spanner to loosen the bolt at the underside of the footrest
support hanger.
2. Adjust the footplate up or down as needed to provide maximum support
of thighs on the seat upholstery, then re-tighten the bolt.
WARNING!
Ensure that desired length adjustment does not cause pressure to legs at front of seat upholstery.

Seat Belt

Push the two halves of the clip together to close. To separate, squeeze the two tabs on either side
of the buckle and pull apart. To adjust the length of the belt, slide the O rings along the length of
the webbing.

Operations of Use

Footrests

Your footrests are capable of being rotated outwards. To achieve this pull the
release lever towards you and rotate footrest in the required direction. Lift-off from
the two pivot points to remove.
Brakes – Attendant Propelled
The brakes are applied manually to the tyres when the chair is parked or stationary,
by an attendant. To apply the brake during motion, pull the lever upwards. To apply
the parking brake in the lock position push the lever down to the lock position, to
release just pull the lever up.
Brakes – Self Propelled
There is a parking brake which can be applied manually to the tyres when the
chair is parked or stationary. To apply the attendant brake pull the lever (1) firmly
upwards, then pushes the latch (2) away from them as indicated opposite whilst
simultaneously releasing the lever (1) to lock the brake. This brake may also be
used to slow the wheelchair. To release the brake, pull the lever firmly upwards until
the latch automatically releases, now release the lever.
Alternatively, the user or attendant may lock the brake using the lower brake lever
on the self propelled wheel. Simply push the lever forward to lock and pull back
to release.
Warning! To avoid damage or breakages do not push down on the brake lever!
Brake Adjustment
The operation of the brakes can be adjusted to suit. Attached to the brake shoe is
an adjusting screw which will vary the tension applied to the brake lever (arrowed)
