progeo JOKER ENERGY User Manual page 15

For the model JOKER ENERGY the footplate is fixed, thus no
adjustments are possible. However the footplate inclination is set
so as to offer an adequate feet position. A plastic plate that
increases the grip and thus reduces the risk for the feet to slip
frontward, can be mounted on the tubular aluminium footplate
(figure 15).
However, as accessory (figure 16) and thus to be requested on
the order form at purchase, it is available the option "adjustable
footplate" with three kind of footplates available :
•
aluminium footplate (std.) adjustable in angle (fig.17);
•
carbon fibre footplate adjustable in angle (fig. 18);
•
carbon fibre footplate with fixed inclination (fig19).
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.
The two screws "A" at the bottom of the carbon
fibre footplate (see fig. 19) allow its adjustment (see
chapter 6.8 "Footplate adjustment") and prevent the
carbon fibre plate from possible damages caused
by contact with the ground.
We recommend periodic inspection of the two
screws "A"; if they are worn-out they should be
replaced.
On their upper part all these footplates are particularly designed to
offer greater rigidness and, at the same time, to reduce and
control the possible sliding off of the feet guiding them towards the
middle of the footplate so as to keep them close to each other.
To prevent the feet from sliding off backwards, we
recommend the use of the calf strap provided as
standard in this model (see chapter 2.10 "Calf strap").
