IV. WHEELCHAIR USE & CONFIGURATION
O. Elevating Leg Rest (Continued)
3. Adjusting the Extension Tube
a. Remove the mounting bolt that is threaded into the leg rest tube in the center of the pad
bracket (Fig. 17:C). In some circumstances, this bolt may be inserted in the tube below the
pivot bracket.
b. Slide the footrest extension tube to the desired height.
c. Line up the holes and replace the bolt through the leg rest tube and the extension tube.
d. Repeat steps a - c on opposite side.
4. Adjusting the Angle of the Leg Rest
a. To raise, lift up on the rear of the extension tube (Fig. 17:A). The rod will slide through the
ratchet in this direction. Stop at the desired position.
b. To lower, firmly hold the leg from behind the extension tube (Fig. 17:A). Pull forward on the
lever (Fig. 17:B) and while holding the lever, lift the leg rest. Releasing the lever will cause
the leg rest to lock into position.
P. Pro Elevating Leg Rest
WARNING: Ensure hangers are locked in place before using wheelchair. Unlocked
hangers while using the wheelchair could cause a fall resulting in serious injury or death.
•
Avoid tripping or falling during a transfer. Ensure your feet do not get caught in the
space between the footrests and avoid putting weight on the footrests as the chair
may tip forward and cause a fall resulting in a serious injury or death.
