4. HOW TO USE TEMPEL WHEELCHAIR
For a safe end efficient use of TEMPEL please consult qualified persons before start
to use it.
In order to exploit the athlete’s power, TEMPEL frame is developed with a balancing
set-up optimised for a racing condition.
To avoid dispersion of power, the weight must be almost completely loaded on rear
wheels axle and only a little load must be applied to the front wheel, just enough load to
skim over the ground.
Considering this particular set-up, to avoid chances to fall down back, is necessary to
maintain the body in racing position as long as you are seat on TEMPEL.
