When moving in and out of the wheelchair it is
recommended not to keep your feet on the footplate;
an excessive weight on the footplate may result in it
breaking and could in turn cause harm to the user.
2.10 Calf strap
In some cases, depending on the diameter of the front wheels and
the width of the wheelchair, the front wheel, as it rotates for turns etc
may come into contact with the occupant's heel.
In order to avoid any such contact (which could result in the chair
overbalancing), the chair is supplied with a calf restraining belt
which should be adjusted so that the occupant's feet do not
come into contact with the front wheels of the chair at
any time (see fig. 17).
2.11 Tubular armrests
The model JOKER EVOLUTION can be provided with tubular
armrests (figure18) .

Fig. 18
The armrests are considered as accessory and must
therefore be ordered separately. They are particularly
useful for people with reduced mobility of their hands or
arms and for those with limited upper body movement
who require better stability when sitting on the
wheelchair.
The armrests must not be used to carry the
wheelchair or as a support.
