JOKER EVOLUTION 5
1.4 Use
The JOKER EVOLUTION wheelchair is self propelled
which means that it can be moved manually by using the
hand rims on the rear wheels. It can be used in rehab as
well as in more active situations and is ideal for a wide
range of users with different kinds of pathologies.
It is used to guarantee either fully independent or
assisted (with an attendant) movement for a person with
reduced or fully impaired movement in one or more parts
of the body. As it has such a large range of accessories
and configurations the wheelchair can be used in full
safety both inside and outside.
Where the user is affected by particularly severe
pathologies or with people who are unable to move at all
on their own, an attendant is always advisable. We also
discourage use over hilly, particularly soft, sandy or
uneven ground, slopes exceeding the recommended
gradient and acid environments.
Its compact size and structure make the JOKER
EVOLUTION wheelchair ideal for use by both
teenagers and adults.
1.5 General advises
Before using the wheelchair we recommend that you
carefully read Chapter 2.0 “Safety” and Chapter 5.0
“Using the wheelchair,” which are essential for safe use
of the wheelchair

2.1
Movements: getting in and out of the wheelchair
While getting into or out of the wheelchair do not place
your feet on the footplate. This could result in the
wheelchair tipping up, possibly causing harm both to the
chair and to the occupant.
Getting in and out of the wheelchair must always be done with
extreme care and caution, even by experienced users, and must be
performed only after receiving instruction from specialised and fully
trained personnel.
If getting in and out of the wheelchair is difficult an attendant should
be present. All of these actions should in any case be performed
based on your particular pathology and therefore on your own level
of independence
