2.2 Attaching and Adjusting Footrests

The footrests are detachable and adjustable. To attach, align the footrest pins with the corresponding slots on the wheelchair frame and push down until they click securely into place. Ensure both footrests are firmly attached before use. The footrests can be adjusted to multiple positions, from 30° to 90°, allowing for various leg positions, including fully extended.

3.1 Braking System

The wheelchair is equipped with a secure push-to-lock braking system on both rear wheels. To engage the brakes, push the brake levers forward until they lock the wheels. To release, pull the levers back. Always engage brakes when transferring in or out of the wheelchair, or when stationary, to prevent unintended movement.
