SWING-AWAY FOOTREST (Fig 14)
Attachment
Step 1:
The footrest pivot saddle should be fully inserted into the front frame section (Fig. 14).
Step 2:
•The mounting should always occur offset of the chair (i.e. to the inside or outside of the sideframe - never in direct alignment).
•Failure to do so will prevent the latching mechanism from engaging.
Step 3:
Once the pivot saddle has been inserted completely, the footrest should be swung
Step 4:
•Once in alignment with the sideframe, the latch mechanism (Fig. 14) should automat- ically engage and prevent the movement of the footrest.
•If the footrest is not engaged, make sure the pivot saddle is firmly seated down into the frame.
•Next check for other obstructions to the latch mechanism.
•If these fail to resolve the problem, contact you local authorized Sunrise Service cen- ter for help.
Removal
Step 1:
Begin by pressing the latch release mechanism down (Fig. 14).
Step 2:
•Once the release has been engaged, swing the footrest to the outside or inside of the wheelchair frame.
•Simply pressing the release handle will not suffice in disengaging the footrest.
•If any weight remains upon the footplate, the footrest will require movement away from the latch mechanism in order to detach.

Raising/Lowering
Step 1: To raise or lower the Elevating Legrest, the Heavy Duty release button (Fig. 15) must be engaged.
Step 2: Constant engagement of this release button must be maintained at all times to move the Legrest into desired position.
Step 3: When the desired position has been met, release the button to lock the assembly into place.
NOTE– Pressure applied to the legrest will increase the effort required to depress the Heavy Duty release button. By slightly lifting the legrest up (1/8" - 1/4") at the footplate, the release button will engage much easier.
NOTE– When lowering the Legrest all the way down, avoid placing it in the lowest position. Doing so will cause the casters to rotate and come in contact with the Elevating Legrest.
NOTE– The Elevating Legrest should NEVER be used for lifting or carrying the wheelchair. Doing so will result in irreparable damage to the Elevating Legrest and/or wheelchair.
