7 Accessories and Equipment
A range of accessories and equipment are available for Wolturnus active wheelchairs. The
most popular accessories are described in this section. The full range of accessories and order
information are available at the Wolturnus A/S web shop at www.wshoppen.dk.
7.1 Upgrading the Rear Wheels, the Push Rims and the Tires
The rear wheels, push rims and tires can be upgraded. For questions regarding the rear wheels,
push rims and tires please contact Wolturnus A/S or a Wolturnus supplier or go to www.wol
-
turnus.dk.
7.2 Side panels mounted on tabs
If the wheelchair is delivered with sideguards mounted on tabs it is possible to change the side-
guards. Sports wheelchairs are often delivered with either aluminum sideguards. For questions
about sideguards in another material please contact Wolturnus A/S or a Wolturnus supplier or
go to www.wolturnus.dk.
7.3 Thermal Bridge Insulation for Side Panels
To insulate in order to prevent thermal bridges, the side panels can be covered with neo-
prene (Image 35). Aluminum side panels are particularly well-suited for this treatment
since aluminum conducts heat. Neoprene can either be glued on or secured with Velcro.
Templates for custom-made side panels are retained at Wolturnus A/S ensuring that the right
neoprene cover can be recreated in the future.
7.4 Frame Protectors
Frame protectors are available to protect the front part of the frame and the back tube from
impact and scratches (Image 36). Frame protectors are folded tightly on to the frame and se
-
cured with built-in Velcro straps. They can be purchased at the Wolturnus A/S web shop www.
wshoppen.dk.
7.5 Spoke Protectors
Spoke protectors prevent fingers from getting caught in the spokes during propulsion.
A wide range of spoke protectors is available. For questions regarding spoke protectors please
contact Wolturnus A/S or a Wolturnus supplier.
7.6 Strap for feet fixation
To secure the feets from falling of the footrest during usage a strap for feet fixation can be
mounted on the footrest. If the wheelchair is delivered without feet fixation a Feet Fixation Kit
can be ordered separately afterwards. The kit consists of a strap, two mounting brackets and
the required number of bolts and nuts.
•
Drill two holes with 70 mm distance in between in each side of the footrest. The holes
should match the distance between the holes in the brackets.
•
Mount the brackets with the enclosed bolts and nut. Use a 3 mm Allen key.
• Mount the feet fixation strap in the brackets (Image 37).
7.7 Seat Cushions
Seat cushions are available in various models and in the required size and thickness. The seat
cushion range is available at the Wolturnus A/S web shop at www.wshoppen.dk.
7.8 Straps, Belts and Fasteners
A range of straps and belts for different uses is available. The hip strap and strap for the thighs
are the most used ones for sports wheelchairs. It is recommended for usage when the wheel-
chair is in motion, ensuring that the user does not fall out. The full range of straps and belts can
be seen at the Wolturnus A/S web shop at www.wshoppen.dk.
If the wheelchair is not delivered with a hip and/or a thigh strap, these can be mounted after
-
wards. The strap kit for retrofitting consists of a hip/thigh strap, triangle brackets and the re
-
quired number of bolts.

Mount the triangle bracket in the pre-made tapped hole in the seat frame tube. Do this in
both sides of the wheelchair.
