FOOTREST / ANTI-TIPPER
WARNING
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all
attaching hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may result.
ALWAYS perform this procedure in the presence of an assistant. The position
of the footrest, camber tube, back angle, the tautness of the back upholstery as
well as the user's condition are directly related to the wheelchairs stability. Any
change to one (1) or any combination of the five (5) may cause the wheelchair to
decrease in stability. Use EXTREME caution when using a new seating
position. The addition of anti-tippers may be required.
Check ALL allen screws that secure the footrest/raised footrest system to
the wheelchair frame to make sure they are securely tightened BEFORE
using the wheelchair, ESPECIALLY if engaging in ANY contact sport.
The footrest assembly MUST be at least 1-3/4-inches above the ground/
floor to avoid hitting protruding objects when using this wheelchair.
