SECTION 7—FOOTREST/
ANTI-TIPPER
 WARNING
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching 
hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may occur.
ALWAYS perform this procedure in the presence of an assistant. The position of 
the footrest, camber tube, back angle, the tautness of the back upholstery as well as 
the user's condition are directly related to the wheelchairs stability. Any change to 
one or any combination of the five may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability. 
Use EXTREME caution when using a new seating position. The addition of 
anti-tippers may be required.
Check ALL allen screws that secure the footrest/raised footrest system to the 
wheelchair frame to make sure they are securely tightened BEFORE using the 
wheelchair. ESPECIALLY if engaging in ANY contact sport.
The footrest assembly MUST be at least 1-3/4-inches above the ground/floor to 
avoid hitting protruding objects when using this wheelchair.
Adjusting/Replacing Standard Footrest 
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to 
FIGURE 7.1.
1. Loosen the two allen screws that secure 
the footrest to the wheelchair frame.
Replacing the Footrest
1. Remove existing footrest.
2. Install new footrest.
 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.
Adjusting the Footrest
1. Position new/existing footrest to desired height.
2. Tighten the two allen screws that secure the footrest to the wheelchair frame.
