Manual Articulating Legrest (ALR)
Fitting
Follow the instructions for the fitting and
removal of footrests as stated on page
21and the adjustment of the footplates
as stated on page 22. see Fig. 21 and
22 below.
WARNING
The use of an ALR can affect the
stability of the chair. Be especially
careful when riding up or down slopes.
Depending on the flexibility and
strength of the user, it may not be
possible for them to adjust the height
of the manual ALR by themselves.
This may need to be carried out by
attendant.
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, calfpad
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

soapy cloth.
Paintwork - Clean with a damp, soapy
