9.5 Side panels
CAUTION
Pinching at the side panels
Pinching, crushing due to lack of caution in danger areas
► Pay attention not to pinch parts of your body between the side panel or frame parts.
The side panels protect the user from dirt and in case of a collision during competitive sports. They also ensure
that the user is securely supported in the wheelchair.
Welded side panels with fixed sidewall (see fig. 31) or welded side panels with tensioning belts (see fig. 32) may
be installed, depending on the order. The tensioning belts with hook-and-loop closures can be adapted to the
requirements of the user.
