Page 12: Footrest
In the order form, according to the type of footrest, you can choose its position (internal, external or intermediate). The JOKER ENERGY and NOIR models have a customised frame with an integrated footrest that may be non-adjustable or adjustable. In both cases, the footrest cannot be raised, so there are no operations to be carried out by the occupant or carer. -
Page 13: Calf Strap
The combination of the inclination of the seat with the inclination of the backrest posts and the inclination of a postural backrest with respect to the posts, could result in an angle greater than 25° with respect to the vertical. In that case, the wheelchair must have a headrest or arrangement to secure it as intended for this model. Joker Energy / Noir 2.0 13... -
Page 14: Armrests
Armrest pads may contain phthalates that are potentially hazardous to health if ingested.

If your wheelchair is a tilting seat type, you should set it flat. Joker Energy / Noir 2.0 19... -
Page 20: Starting To Drive Your Wheelchair
