How to Extend the Footrests on Your Wheelchair

Everyone is built differently, so making sure your footrests are the right height is the secret to a comfortable ride. The footrest extension consists of three parts that need to be properly aligned to adjust the height. Follow these steps to ensure a secure fit:

Step 1: Prepping the footrest

1. Identify the Multi-Thread Tube (the small black and silver part with multiple threaded holes).
2. Slide it into the Lower Footrest Tube (the bent silver tube connected to the footplate).
3. Just twist it until the holes on both pieces are lined up nicely.

Step 2: connecting it to your chair

1. Take the fully assembled Lower Footrest (which now has the Multi-Thread Tube inside).
2. Insert it into the Upper Footrest (the vertical frame of the wheelchair).
3. Again, align the holes on both parts to ensure they are level.

Step 3: Secure the Footrest

1. Once all the parts are correctly aligned, insert the securing bolt.
2. Make sure they are tightened properly to prevent any movement.
3. Test the footrest by gently applying pressure to ensure it’s stable and locked in place, then you’ll be ready to roll!

Need to make a change lateR?

• If you decide you need the footrests a little higher or lower, it’s an easy fix! Just repeat the process by adjusting the position of the Multi-Thread Tube before securing it.
