Application Instructions:

1. Position the patient in the wheelchair and adjust the footrests to fit.

2. Release the quick-release buckles on the attachment straps.

3. Position the Hugger between the footrest bars with the extender resting on top of the footrests as shown in the photo.

4. Wrap the top straps around the outside of each footrest bar and fasten the quickrelease buckles. Follow same procedure for the lower straps.

5. Adjust the straps so the leg rest sits flush between the footrest bars. This will allow more room on the footrests for the resident’s feet.

NOTE: Extenders are available in 1”, 2”, 3”, and 4” thicknesses and may be purchased separately. Call Customer Service at 800-447-6739.
