Tubular And Desk Armrests - progeo Exelle User Manual

2.11 Tubular and desk armrests

The Exelle model can be supplied either with tubular (fig 19) or
desk (fig 20) armrests.
As this is a self-propelled model, the armrests are
considered an accessory and must therefore be
ordered separately. They are particularly useful for
people with reduced mobility in their hands or arms
and for those with limited upper body movement who
require increased stability once seated in the
wheelchair.

The armrests must not be used to carry the
wheelchair or as a support.
The tubular armrests are only locked when they are in
their standard position for use (facing forwards and
parallel with the sides of the wheelchair) (see fig. 19).
In all other positions they can turn and for this
reason always ensure that they are correctly
positioned before use (see chapter 7.1 Height
adjustable, quick-release, swingaway armrests ).
If this instruction is ignored the wheelchair and
the occupant could overbalance.
Do not use the armrest as a hand hold when
moving the wheelchair as this could result in them
becoming loose which could in turn lead to
possible injury to the occupant and the wheelchair
Do not use the armrest as a support during
transportation. We recommend removal of the
armrests during transportation.
