Footplate Adjustment

Adjusting The Footrest
WARNING!
• Do not stand on the footboard! Even if the user is sitting in
the chair, there is still a risk of tipping over and injury.
• When transferring, do not stand on the footboard, there is a
risk of tipping over and injury.
Releasing the screw (1) will allow you to adjust the footrest to
correspond to the length of your lower leg and re-attach the
footrest. The angle of the footrest may be individually adjusted
by loosening screws (2). The side protection (3) on the footrest
prevents the feet slipping off accidentally. Make sure that after
any adjustment work, all screws are tightened correctly (see the
page on torque) (Fig. 4.11 - 4.12).

Castors

Castor, Castor adapter, Castor fork
From time to time the wheelchair may veer slightly to the right or
left or the castors may flutter. This may be caused by the
following:
• Forward and/or reverse wheel motion has not been set
properly.
• The castor angle has not been adjusted properly.
• Castor and/or rear wheel air pressure is incorrect; wheels do
not turn smoothly.
The optimum adjustment of the castors is required so that the
wheelchair runs in a straight line.
The castor plates must be re-adjusted, and the wheel locks must
be checked every time the rear wheel position has been altered.
