7.5 Crutches support
This accessory holds the crutches on the
wheelchair without creating interference with
the normal use of wheelchair.
Put the ends of the crutches into the cap A
and fix their upper part using the belt B that is
fixed to the backrest tube.
You can easily remove the tube with the cap:
press the pin P and slide the tube off the
support.
To put on the tube with the cap, insert the tube
in the support S until the pin P touches the
same support. Then, press the pin and slide
the tube in until the pin locks in the hole of the
support.
7.6 Folding push handles
These push handles, when folded down (1), reduce the encumbrance of the wheelchair and they
get away from a possible interference with the user’s arms while self-propelling the wheelchair.
When folded up (2), they are just like normal handles.
Press the pin P from the inner side of the handle and swing the handle up down until the pin
automatically locks in the other position.
When the attendant moves the wheelchair with the patient on the wheelchair, make
sure the push handles are safely locked in their using position.
7.7 Quick release fork
This accessory allows for further reduction of the wheelchair
encumbrance.
With a double pair of forks, this accessory can be useful if the user needs
to exchange the size of the casters to drive along different surfaces.
Try to pull the fork off to make sure the fork is securely
engaged. The fork must not come off.
There may be a just little play.
To remove the fork, take hold of it as shown in the picture, press the pin P
that is located on the lower side of the axle A and slide the fork off.
To put it on, press and hold the pin P and let the axle A go through the
hole of bearing to full stroke. Finally, release the pin.
7.8 “Frog Leg” fork
The characteristic of this type of fork is its shock absorber system that
allows for a more comfortable drive along rough surfaces.
The shock absorber is made of an elastomer A that absorbs shocks
coming from the rotation of the fork on its axle B.
According to size of the casters, going over little steps
(without raising the front of the wheelchair) can be more or
less difficult. With this type of forks, the risk of tipping
frontward when hitting a step without going over it
increases because, in such situation, the axis of the
casters moves backward.
