HEMIPLEGIC ARMRESTS
The hemiplegic armrest can be
adjusted both in length and
angle. You can adjust the
length by pushing the armrest
after having loosened the 2
rotary screws (1). To adjust the
angle, hold the knob 2 pushed
down and rotate the armrest to
the desired position, then
release the knob again.
(Fig. 42).
Options – Anti-Tip Tubes
ANTI-TIP TUBES
Anti-tip tubes provide additional safety for inexperienced users
when they are still learning how to operate their wheelchair. They
prevent a wheelchair from tipping over backwards. The anti tip tube
should be inserted into the frame tube until the first of the two
spring buttons enters the first hole in the frame tube, (Fig.40).
WARNING!
Incorrect setup of the anti-tips will increase the risk of a rearwards
tip. You must swing the anti-tips upwards when going up or down
large obstacles, (such as a kerb), to prevent them from touching the
ground, then rotate them back down to the normal position.
CAUTION!
Do not insert both buttons of
the anti tip tube into the frame
tube as this could damage the
anti Tip and cause a loss of
effectiveness.
By pushing on the Second
exposed release button, the
safety wheels can be set
upwards or removed. There
must always be a gap of
between 3 cm and 5 cm
between the tube and the
ground. You must swing the
safety wheels upwards when going up and down large obstacles
(such as a kerb) to prevent them from touching the ground. Then
rotate the safety wheels back down to the normal position (Fig. 43).
WARNING!
Incorrect set up of the anti tips will increase the risk of a rearwards
tip.
