Footrest
Adjusting
the Footrest
Each
leg should absorb equal pressure.
The
foot rest can be
adjusted by:
1.
Loosening
the
screw
on the footrest rings using an
Allen wrench
(two full turns should do
it
.
)
2.
Using
a rubber
mallet,
tap the footrest (up or down)
to desired position.
Be
sure that you adjust both
sides equally.
3.
Retighten
the
screw
on the footrest rings.
4.
To
change foot plate angle,
loosen screws adju
s
t
angle then retighten.
TIRES
On
a day to day
basis,
it is important to
check
the tire
wear
and
the
pressure.
Tires
with
excessive wear
or that are over or
under
inflated
will,
in most cases,
compromise
the comfort and
performance
of
the
chair.
It
is
importa
n
t
to
keep
the tire
pressure
within the indicated
range. The
recommended
air
pressure
is indicated on the
sidewall
of
the tire.
The
type of
wheel
supplied with your
Colours
chair
may
vary.
RIMS
At least once a year
you
should
have
your
wheels
serviced by an au-
thorized
Colours
dealer.
If
you notice loose or
broken
spokes, you
should
have
them
replaced
as soon as possible.
BEARINGS
The bearings
on your
Colours wheelchair
are sealed and do not need
lubrication
or other maintenance. It is,
however,
a good idea to
in-
spect your axles and
bearings
on a regular basis.
We
suggest that you
remove
hair or other foreign objects
that
can degrade the performance
of these components.
