5 2.0 Legrest Set-Up & Adjustments 2.1 Installing the TRx HD Swing Away y Legrest est Note: Set-up and adjustments on the HD Swing Away Legrests will need to be addressed individually for both the left and right legrests. 1. Insert the mounting pin into the legrest receiver and lock the plunger into position (see image A below). Refer to image F. (p.6) to see an example of an improperly locked plunger. 2. When the legrest is properly inserted into the legrest hanger, the beveled shoulder of the hanger will align with the beveled shoulder on the foot-rest assembly (see image C. below). 3. Test the fit of the legrest assembly by moving it laterally and from front to back. There should be no play after the legrest is in the locked position. If there is any play evident in the locked legrest, the eccentric mounting pin may be adjusted to compensate. To adjust the mounting pin please refer to Section 2.2 Adjusting the Mounting Pin (p.6).

6 2.0 Legrest Set-Up & Adjustments Adjusting the Mounting Pin Note: the threaded extrusion at the top of the mounting pin is designed to be slightly off-center. This unique design causes the pin to rotate in an elliptical (non-circular) path. Therefore, as the pin is tightened it will create a wedge affect and force the legrest to snug up against the legrest receiver. D. top Mounting Pin bottom (view from top) To ensure a tight fit between the legrest and the reciever, the mounting pin can be adjusted as follows (refer to image E.): 1. With the plunger pin still engaged, use an allen key to loosen the pin adjustment bolt. 2. Use a wrench to rotate the mounting pin inside the legrest receiver until a snug fit is achieved. 3. With the wrench holding the mounting pin in position, re-tighten the adjustment bolt with the allen key. 4. Important!- Test the plunger assembly to ensure it is functioning/ locking properly (see image F.). If the plunger mechanism is too stiff or the plunger pin does not lock fully, loosen the mounting pin slightly and re-test. E. F. plunger mechanism not locked properly gap

7 Legrest Set-Up & Adjustments 2.3 Leg g Extension Adjustments 1. The leg extension is adjustable to accommodate various knee to heel lengths. There are three lengths of extension bars available: Small = Large = X-Large = (Note: extension bars are adjustable at 1/2 intervals) 2. To adjust the leg extension, remove the two screws from the down tube and re-position the extension bar.

These adjustments will move the entire footplate position forward and aft. Note: by inverting the clamping block, 3 additional forward and aft mounting positions can be achieved. Each adjustment is at a 1 interval 2. By loosening the clamping block, the entire footplate can be move in and out along the length of the pivot bracket tube. (see image H.) 3. The heel strap can also be adjusted into 3 different positions (front to back). Each strap adjustment is at a 1 interval. 4. The angle of the footplate can be altered by adjusting the nylon set-screw inside the pivot bracket. With the set screw fully inserted the footplate will rest at 90 degrees (perpendicular to the legrest extension tube). Loosening the set screw will gradually decrease the footplate angle (less than 90 degrees). (see images I. & J.)
