Step tubes are used by attendants to push a wheelchair over an
obstacle. Simply step on the tube to push a wheelchair, for
example, over a kerb or step, (Fig.6.09).
CAUTION !
Sunrise Medical strongly
reccommends the use of a step
tube on any model where
attendant use is the predominant
intended use. Damage to the
backposts may occur if you
constantly use the backpost
without a step tube, as a lever to
pull back on to tip the wheelchair.

Various footboards are available on the Life. These can be
flipped up to make it easier to transfer to/from the chair. They
are described individually.
Footrest and swing away latch
When fitting the footrests these are fitted in the swung-away
position (Fig. 6.10). Then simply turn them inwards until the
interlock engages (1). To remove the footrests, use the lever (2)
and swing the footrest outwards and lift off. Check that the
footrest is correctly engaged.
The footrest will be limited by the hanger stop (Fig.6.10) in a 90°
position. This ensures that the break will not be inadvertantly
released when the hanger is swung out.
WARNING!
The footrests are not designed to be used to lift or carry
the wheelchairs with an occupant.
Hanger play adjustment
In case of play the hanger (Fig. 6.11) can be adjusted in the
field. The hanger pin (1) is tapered and the play can be reduced
when the pin is unscrewed slightly.
Take the hanger off the chair in using the release mechanism.
Use an screw driver and turn the pin (1) in the front carefully to
the left. Then test the hanger on the chair. If the hanger
mechanism is not working/catching anymore, please undo the
task slightly.
If the play is still too large and the performance not accepted,
please repeat the task.

Lower leg lengths
By undoing the clamp screw, 2 (Fig. 6.12), you can adjust the
lower leg length. Loosen the clamp screw, adjust the tube with
the footboard to the desired position.
Tighten clamp screws again (see the page on torque). Ensure
that the plastic push joint is located under the clamp screw in
the correct position.
WARNING!
Do not stand on the footplate during transfer. The chair is likely
to tip to the front when standing on the footplate. Always place
your feet securely on the ground for transfering into or out of the
chair.
Platform Footplates
The footboard can be flipped up to make it easier to transfer to
and from the chair.
The footboard can also be tilted to six different angles relative to
a level surface.
Tighten screw (1) firmly on the outer side.
By removing the clips (2) the footplate can be adjusted to three
different positions toward both the front and rear. For this
purpose, the footplate must be flipped up, (Fig. 6.13).
When finished, make sure that all screws have been properly
tightened (see the page on torque).
A minimum interval of 25mm from the ground should always be
maintained.

One Hand Wheel Locks
Your wheelchair is equipped with two sets of wheel locks, that
operate from the left or the right side. They are applied directly
against the tires. To engage, press the wheel-lock lever forward
against the stop (Fig.6.07). To release the wheel, pull the lever
back to the original position.
• Braking power will decrease with:
• Worn tire tread
• Tire pressure that is too low
• Wet tires
• Improperly adjusted wheel locks.
The wheel locks have not been designed to be used as brakes
for a moving wheelchair. The wheel locks should therefore
never be used to brake a moving wheelchair. Always use the
handrims for braking. Make sure that the interval between the
tires and wheel locks complies with given specifications. To
readjust, loosen screws, (1), and set the appropriate interval,
(Fig.6.08). Tighten screw (see the page on torque).
