For optimum comfort it is important to attain
the correct leg position. The footrests have
been designed so that they can be extended
into a number of fixed positions. To do this,
release the bolt using the spanner (see
diagram) and turning clockwise (1). Then adjust
the footplate to lengthen or shorten the legrest
(2). Finally, tighten the bolt by using the spanner
and turning anticlockwise (3).

Note: Always ensure the bolt is sufficiently
tightened after adjustment.

folding back mechanism

1

On certain models the backrest
has an in-built half folding back.
This is designed so that the
wheelchair will fit into small
spaces by reducing the push
handle height.

To operate the half-fold mechanism see
the diagram left & description below:

Push the black paddle (1) towards the
back post with your thumb whilst pulling
the handle (2) down. Repeat this
operation for the other handle.

To put the backrest back into position,
lift both handles together and the
folding mechanism will lock back
automatically. Do not push down on the
handles to raise the front of the
wheelchair, as this could result in
damage to the wheelchair. Use the
stepper tube as described in part 8.

quick release components

The wheelchair comes with a number of components which can be easily
removed without tools for storage or carrying. For all parts in this section
see the relevant description and diagram:

A. Armrests

Remove the armrest by pushing in the button
on armrest (1) tubing whilst lifting the armrest
up (2).

Due to the detachable nature of the armrests,
do not lift the wheelchair by the armrests.
