Choose the correct Drill Guide (E) depending on the wheelchair’s footplate - Single Footplate or Dual
(Individual) Footplates - and tear it out along the perforated lines.
Single Footplate:
Line up the template as shown in the image on the Drill Guide and tape it to the footplate (Figure
5A1). Drill the two larger holes with the 5/16” drill bit (P) and the smaller hole with the 1/4” drill bit
(O) as marked on the template (Figure 5A2). Place the Scout (D) on top of the footplate, aligning the
screw holes in the bracket with the drilled holes in the footplate. Place #10 Washers (Z) on two of the
M5 x 8mm Phillips Head Screws (V), raise the footplate and loosely insert the screws into the 5/16”
holes from the bottom of the footplate (Figure 5A3) to hold the Scout bracket in place. Insert the M5
x 14mm Screw (T) into the 1/4” hole from the top of the footplate (Figure 5A4). Use an 8mm socket
wrench to secure it from the bottom with the M5 Nylon Locknut (Y). Tighten all three screws.
Dual Footplates:
Line up the template as shown in the images on the Drill Guide and tape it to the footplate (Figure
5B1). Note which slot on the template to line up with the footplate, depending on the footplate style.
Loosely insert one M5 x 8mm Phillips Head Screw (V) through the template and into the threaded
hole to help keep the template in place. Drill the two holes with the 5/16” drill bit (P) as marked on
the template (Figure 5B2). Remove the M5 x 8mm screw (V) and discard the template. Place the
Scout (D) on top of the footplate, aligning the screw holes in the bracket with the drilled holes in the
footplate. Loosely reinsert the M5 x 8mm Screw (V) into the threaded hole (Figure 5B3). Raise the
footplate, place #10 Washers (Z) on the remaining two M5 x 8mm Phillips Head Screws (V) and insert
them into the 5/16” holes from the bottom of the footplate (Figure 5B4). Tighten all three screws.
