10.2.2.2 Height Adjustment for Ergonomic Length Compensation

Warning: Danger of Injury if footrest or legrest is incorrectly adjusted!

•Before and during each drive, always make sure there is sufficient clearance between the legrest (or footrest) and the ground, as well as the castors!

Ergonomic Length Compensation of the legrest is only given if the pivot point of the legrest (1) corresponds with that of the user's knee.

To insure this, the height of the pivot point of the legrest must be adjusted to suit the user.

•Loosen and remove the screws (2) using a 5mm Allen Key.

•Adjust the height of the legrest, align it with the holes (3) and reposition the screws.

•Tighten the screws (2) and test the clearance of the legrest.

NOTE:

Adjustment of the height should only be done by authorised technicians.
