Leg Supports; Safety Belt For Persons (B58); Anti-Tipping (B78) - Vermeiren RAPIDO Instruction Manual

The headrest must be fixed at least 6 cm above the lower end of the tube and properly
secured by means of the fixing screw.
The height of the headrest can now be adjusted by slightly loosening the adjusting screw until the
toothed gears can be moved. The headrest can now be set to your requirements and then the support
can be secured by retightening the adjusting screws. You can repeat this procedure until you are
happy with the position.
The correct adjustment means that the back of your head is supported in a relaxed upright
sitting position.
Before using the headrest, all fixing screws must be tightened, otherwise the headrest might
slip downwards or sideways and cause injuries.
If you want to secure the attitude of your head, then adjust the two side rests to the dimensions of your
head by pushing them gently inward and forward. This will protect your head against tipping sideways.
Make sure that your head does not exert too much pressure on the side rests, since that might
result in squashing.
Do not slam the side rests together as they might break off and this could cause injury and
loss of function.
If the headrest is changed structurally, no liability will be accepted.

LEG SUPPORTS

If you are not happy with the leg supports supplied with the wheelchair, you can choose others from a
wide range available. The foot support sockets are standardised and any of the other foot rests can be
inserted.
If you have any questions about other foot support systems, you could contact your dealer who would
gladly inform you about alternatives.

SAFETY BELT FOR PERSONS (B58)

We offer a safety belt fitted with a clasp (like those found in motor cars). Unscrew the backrest, pull
the seatbelt loops over the back supporting bars, replace and tighten the backrest and make sure that
the loops are placed between the two backrest suspensions.
To retain your warranty, let your specialist dealer install the belt.
The fixing screws of the backrest should be tightened securely.
If you prefer other seatbelt systems, please contact your dealer. He shall gladly help you.

ANTI-TIPPING (B78)

As a safety measure we have installed a device which prevents the wheelchair from tIpping over
backwards.
Each time before driving off you should make sure that the anti-tipping guard is functioning
correctly, namely that its rollers prevent futher backwards tipping by pressing on the ground.
