ACCESSORIES

ARMRESTS

Depending on the purpose, various armrests can be fitted. They are simply hung on the suspensions
provided on the back tube (see the chapter on "Armrests").
B02- Long side parts with a long resting place for the arm to support you when getting out of the
wheelchair into another seat.
B03- Desk armrests are available which allow you to drive against a table without having to detach
the armrests.
B05- Height-adjustable armrests can be adjusted to the length of your arms and thus allow you
always to rest your forearms.
Your specialist dealer would gladly advise you about which kind of armrest is most suitable for you.

LEG SUPPORTS

We also have various different leg supports from which you can choose one which would suit your
individual requirements best.
B06- Standard detachable leg supports which can be swung aside.
BZ8- Leg supports of which the angle and the height is individually adjustable. For this purpose they
are equipped with adjustable calf plates. In addition, the angle of the footplates can be
adjusted to the inclination of the foot.
BZ7- These leg supports are similar to the BZ8 but are approx. 7 cm longer to accommodate tall
patients with long lower legs.
Approach the obstacle head-on and bend your upper body forwards a
little to shift your weight. Adjustable backs must be in the most vertical
position.
Tip the wheelchair on the driving wheels.
L
The anti-tip device (if fitted) may need to be removed. N.B:
DANGER OF TIPPING!
Roll over the obstacle with the driving wheels and then, by slightly
shifting your body weight, place the steering wheels back on the
ground.
L
Practise dropping down by having an attendant ensure that
the wheelchair does not roll over by holding the handles.
L
If you shift your body weight too much, the wheelchair could
tip over and you could hurt yourself !
L
Remember to replace the anti-tip device !
