9.3 Control panel
9.3.1 Adjusting the control panel to the arm length
After loosening the attachment screws on the bottom of the armrest, the control panel can be shifted forwards or
backwards and can thus be adjusted to the desired arm length (Fig. 7). This function is very helpful when using
accessories such as channel forearm pads and hand pads (see Accessories Catalog).

Further adjustment possibilities of the control panel are described in Section 14 "Options and Accessories".
9.4 Footrest
To disassemble the footrest, the calf band must be unhooked first. With a simple turn of the hand, the footrest
lock can then be released, allowing the footrest to be folded either inwards or outwards. When in this position,
the footrest can be pulled upwards for disassembly (Fig.8).
Caution!
Take care not to get your fingers jammed when swinging the footrest away or back in place.
Fig. 8: Releasing the footrest lock
For remounting, first hinge the footrest into its holder from the top and swing inwards until the lock engages.
Then attach the calf band back to its mounting bracket. By loosening the screw at the footrest bar, the footplate
can be adjusted to your specific lower leg length and to the thickness of your seat cushion.
When making adjustments, ensure that the footrest bar is not pulled out of the holder by more than 160 mm
(Fig. 9). Always remember to retighten screws and nuts once the adjustments are made.
