Footplate Adjustment - Zippie Simba Notice D'utilisation

Compact Wheel Lock
Compact wheel locks are underneath the seat sling and are operated by
pulling the wheel locks towards the rear, in the direction of the tyre. For the
brakes to work properly, this must be pulled until it reaches the stops (Fig.
5.4).
CAUTION!
• Incorrect mounting of the wheel lock will result in a higher effort to operate.
This might cause the brake lever extension for the wheel locks to break!
• The mounting bolts for the brakes must not be loosened and/or
re-tightened.
Safari wheel lock (Wheel lock integrated into Side guard):
The Safari wheel locks are operated by pushing the lever forwards (away
from the patient's body).
To release the brakes, pull the lever back towards the body (Fig. 5.5).
Brake lever extension
The longer lever helps to minimise the effort needed to set the wheel locks.
The brake lever extension is screwed to the brakes.
By raising this, it can be flipped forward (Fig. 5.6).
CAUTION!
Incorrect mounting of the wheel lock will result in a higher effort to
operate. This might cause the wheel lock extension lever to break.

Footplate Adjustment

CAUTION!
• 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.
Adjusting The Footrest
Removing 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 (not for footrest with bar) by loosening
screws (2). The side protection 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. 5.7).
Flip-up footrest:
The footrest can be flipped up to the rear and this can make it easier for the
patient to transfer to/from the chair. The footrest is flipped up by raising the
front section. To return the footrest to its original position, the front section
must be flipped downwards (Fig. 5.8).
High-mount footrest:
The high-mount footrest is fitted on the inner part of the frame and permits a
higher footrest position (Fig. 5.9).
CAUTION!
The screws/bolts used on this wheelchair have thread locking fluid applied at
the factory. After that they should be replaced or alternatively re-secured with
threadlock to medium tightness.
