Backrest upholstery adjustment

The backrest can be adjusted to the user requirements by
tensioning or slackening the special velcro straps hidden within the
backrest itself .
To carry out the adjustment, lift or remove the padding (fig. 46),
tighten or slacken the velcro straps as required (fig. 46a) and put
the padding back in place.

6.8 Footplate adjustment (only for optional frame)
(figure 48).
The adjustable footplate for the model JOKER ENERGY is an
accessory and it has to be requested and marked in the order form
at purchase.
Height adjustment: This adjustment serves to vary the distance of
the footrest from the seat to enable the correct sitting position of the
user based on the height of the user and his/her leg length.
The support tube for the footrest has several pre-drilled holes and
the frame has a further hole allowing the height of the footrest to be
adjusted.
Fig.46a
Loosen the two bolts and nuts "B" (see fig.47) which are
found under the carbon fibre footrest (using 4 mm Allen
key);(with carbon fibre angle adj. footplate, loosen the
headless bolt "B" and the bolt "A" – see fig. 48a – 3mm and
5mm Allen key); this is necessary to keep the same inclination
of the frames. In fact the width of the footplate changes in
function of its height: the longer the footplate distance the
narrower its width.
Fig.47
Remove screws "A" and corresponding nuts and washers
(use a 3 mm Allen key and an 8 mm spanner).
Slide the footrest support tube up or down to the desired
position.
Replace the two bolts and nuts "B" in the nearest available
holes and firmly tighten them
In order to avoid hitting objects which could cause the
wheelchair to tip over, we recommend that the
minimum distance between the base of the footrests
and the ground should not be less than 2cm.
