Preparing your wheelchair for use
Fitting footrests
Firstly, offer the footrest assembly at right angles to the frame (Fig. 3b), locate the stem into the frame tube and swing the assembly forward as in Fig. 3a to lock in position. To swing away the footrest, simply depress the retaining catch and turn the footrest out. This can now be lifted out if required.

Control box
Fig 4a: Connect the power lead to control box (Fig. 4a). The control box is mounted on a sliding mechanism which enables the control to be moved forwards and backwards. When the most comfortable position has been selected, secure the slider by tightening the locking screw. Ensure the locking screw is fully tightened prior to use and especially when transporting your wheelchair.
Fig 4b: You can slide the control along the rail and set as you wish. To adjust the control arm rotate handle, located under the rail to the left. Turn to the right to fix the position.
