WARNING

The standard footrest has an open hoop. A
footplate cover is recommended for wheelchair
users that have leg spasticity or whose feet have
a possibility of falling through the footrest hoop. A
calf strap is provided with each wheelchair to
prevent the feet from slipping backwards off of
the footrest. Be sure the calf strap is secure when
using the wheelchair.

mounting holes of the anti-tipper socket.

6. Repeat STEPS 1-5 for the opposite anti-tipper if

necessary.

sion to the anti-tipper bar.

ance of the wheels to the floor.

tom of the anti-tipper wheels and the floor must be
maintained.

tipper extension mounting hole.
