Footboard
Angle-Adjustable Footboard
It can be adjusted to alter the angle
to the ground. Release screw, pull it
inwards, set the desired angle and
then push it on. After making the
adjustment, re-tighten the screw.
Make sure that after any adjustment
work, all screws are tightened
correctly (see the page on torque).
Ensure that you maintain the
minimum gap to the floor (2.5 cm)
(Fig. 6.12).
Hanger And Latch
The legrests can be swung inwards under the seat sling or
outwards.
When fitting the legrests, the footrests must be pointing inwards
or outwards. Then rotate the legrest inwards, until it locks into
place. To remove, pull the lever (1), swing the hanger inwards or
outwards and then lift the leg rest out. Make sure that the leg
rest is locked into place correctly (Fig. 6.13-6.13.1).
