the right to tighten in place. Adjust the length by sliding the footrest up or down
so that the person’s full thigh is supported by the seat.

3.4 Applying the Brakes
Push the brake handle forward to lock and pull back to release.
The wheels and casters have maintenance free solid tyres installed that will not become
at if they are cut or punctured by debris on the ground.
The chair is tted with 8” diameter casters and 12” diameter rear wheels to make travel
over rough terrain and small obstacles easier.
On very rough or soft terrain it will be easier, and safer, for the care giver to pull the
chair backwards until smoother or harder terrain is reached.
Remember
To apply the brakes before getting in or out of the chair.
