5.3 Use of the footplate and footrest
Adjusting the heel straps
- You can adjust the heel straps, which you will find on the footplate, with the Velcro;
- Check if the Velcro of the heel straps is tighten properly.
Folding the footplate away
With your wheelchair it is not possible to fold the footplate away. However if you want to fold your wheelchair you
need to ‘release’ the footplate. You need to hold the footplate in the middle and move it upwards to make sure
that the wheelchair can be fold easily. Also when you have unfolded the wheelchair you need to make sure that, by
holding the footplate in the middle and pushing it down, you bring the footplate back in position.
