2.5 Footplate
When moving in and out of the wheelchair, we recommend not keeping your feet
on the footplate; an excessive weight on the footplate may result in it breaking
and could in turn cause harm to the user.
After each operation, check the footplate is always in the correct position
(completely open).
Should the wheelchair be equipped with double footplate (1) make sure both plates are totally
down before using the wheelchair.
With one-piece footplate with automatic closure in plastic (2a) or in aluminium (2b) this check
is not necessary because the footplate opens automatically together with the seat.
With one-piece flip-up plastic
footplate (3), make sure that
the locking tooth A is properly
inserted in the slot of the support
B.
With one-piece flip-up
aluminium footplate (4) or
carbon fibre footplate (5),
make sure that the locking tooth
A is properly inserted in the bed
of the support B.
According to the user’s need, the wheelchair can be provided with any of the footplates above
mentioned.
The one-piece footplates are more rigid than the double and they are recommended for those users
who have frequent spasms or exercise a lot of force on the footplate.
All footplates, except the footplate with automatic closure, when raised, allows the user to lean
his/her feet on the ground more easily, especially during transfer.
stessa.
Flipping up the footplate is a very easy operation you can perform with one hand by pulling the
plate up.
To put the footplate back to its using position, just push it down and, in case of one-piece footplate,
make sure it locks in the support as previously indicated.
OTHER INFORMATION ON FOOTPLATE
Should the wheelchair be equipped with double
footplate or flip-up footplate, in order to prevent
the front frames from widening apart, it is
provided with a stretched calf band fixed to the
fork support.
Never use the stretched calf band as support for your feet and never remove it. Without
it, in fact, the front frame can widen apart so much as to alter the wheelchair’s geometry
even when driving normally. Rehateam s.r.l. is not responsible for malfunctioning or
damage to the wheelchair or to the user if, with double footplate or flip-up footplate, the
wheelchair is used without the stretched calf band.
