5.0 Using the wheelchair

5.1 Use

The JOKER EVOLUTION
wheelchair.
This is the only wheelchair available which uses crush resistant
aluminium alloy tubing to increase the strength and rigidity of the
wheelchair. Because of its characteristics of reduced weight,
adaptability (configuration) and smoothness this wheelchair is ideal
for daily use by occupants with severe pathologies (with limited
movement in the legs, arms and upper body) as well as more
active occupants (able to perform activities without assistance). The
wheelchair has been designed for indoor (flats, gyms, schools,
libraries, etc.) as well as outdoor (roadways, pavements,
courtyards, etc...) use.
During the day-to-day use of the wheelchair the occupant
could encounter rough or irregular grounds (such as
gravel, holes, etc) or slippery terrain (wet, sandy, dusty or
oily ground etc).
In these cases and in all other cases where the use of
the wheelchair could be difficult or even dangerous
(both for the occupant and for the wheelchair itself), we
recommend using
combined with smooth motion avoiding sudden
braking or acceleration (see chapter 2.0 "safety").
In case of extreme difficulty or danger it is always
advisable to have the help of an assistant
In order to prevent overbalancing, the maximum
gradient recommended for this wheelchair is 3° (6%)
(see chapter 2.4 "Dealing with slopes or inclines").
The maximum weight that the Joker model is safely
able to carry is 125kg.
