Instructions on Completing Mock-Up of Track Slide Design for Lift/Lower of Center-Mounted Footrests on Power Wheel Chairs

Step 8 Attachment to the PWC

Attachment to any PWC design is fairly straightforward with this design.

On the back of the track slide, you can drill two or three holes directly in the center, and put bolts through. This will allow you to connect L connectors or other retrofit apparatus, see Fig 11, 1st Image.

Using the L bracket, you can now attach to PWC via the footrest height adjustment.

First, find a piece of 8020 which looks like Fig 12, 2nd Image. We will refer to this as the 8020 connector. You can use the two holes on its side and bolt it into the footrest height adjust. This is shown in Fig 12, 2nd Image

Now we can attach the track slide design to the PWC via the 8020 connector piece.

Use a long bolt and bolt the L bracket of the track slide to the 8020 connector piece. Secure it with a nut. This process is shown in Fig 13, 3rd Image.

Tightening the bolts should lock the track slide in place to the PWC height adjust.

Now you must attach the track slide to the footrest itself.

Attach hinge B from the moment arm to the footrest with either zip ties or bolting it through the actual footrest, shown in Fig 14, 4th Image. You can also use larger rivets.
