WARNING
The use of an angle adjustable legrest
can affect the stability of the chair. Be
especially careful when riding up or down
slopes.
With the leg in an elevated position it is
more likely that the user could injure the
leg on obstacles in the environment. Make
sure that you are aware of your terrain
and be cautious when driving the chair
that your leg cannot impact on anything
around you.
Do not drive your chair too close to any
source of open flame. With your leg in
an elevated position you may not know
that the bottom of the footplate is getting
hot.
Do not hang items from the legrest, or
allow anyone to stand on the legrest with
it in the elevated or non-elevated position.
This could cause injury to them, to you
or could cause damage to the chair.
Inspect the legrest, footplate and heel loop
regularly for signs of damage or wear.
Damage to the legrest could result in the
users leg being dropped and could cause
injury.
Cleaning Instructions

Paintwork - Clean with a damp, soapy

cloths.
Make sure that the legrest is completely
dry before using.
Loosen the knuckle
