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. 20).
The use of the calf restraints on the JOKER ENERGY model is
important to prevent the user's feet from slipping backwards.
2.11 Tubular armrests
The model JOKER ENERGY can be provided with tubular
armrests (fig.21) .
Fig.20
Fig. 21
.
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.
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. 21). 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,
removable, swing away armrests").
If this instruction is ignored the wheelchair or the
user may overbalance.
