Carbon fibre footplate can
be turned 180°. Such
characteristic may be
useful either to reduce the
encumbrance
of the
wheelchair or temporarily
have a different position of
footplate.
To perform such operation, just raise the plate out of its locking support and turn it to the opposite
position. Now you can either fold the wheelchair or lock the footplate in its support.
Never use the footplate, being it one-piece or double, as foothold while making
transfer.
The double footplates are less resistant than the one-piece footplates and thus,
they are not suitable for those users with strong spasms and/or contractions.
In the order form, according to the type of footplate, you can choose its position
(internal, external or intermediate). However, not all footplates have different
positioning.
2.6 Front frame: fixed or with removable footplate
The front frame for the model TEKNA TILT ADULT and TEKNA TILT JUNIOR can be either “fixed”
or with the function “swing away and removable”.
For the “fixed” frame adult (1) and junior with
adbuction (2) there are no operation to be carried out
by the user and/or his/her attendant.
One of the characteristics of the model TEKNA TILT consists of a particular footplate front frame
that you can swing away or completely remove. These functions have the purpose of reducing the
encumbrance and the weight of the wheelchair as well as helping the user to get closer to objects
such as a bed or a table. It is also convenient for amputees for whom the footplate is useless.
If the model TEKNA TILT ADULT
is equipped with the system
swing-out only (3) that is also
used for elevating footplates (4),
check the footplate frame is
securely locked in its support.
Check the footplate frame is securely locked to its
support.
With one hand, take hold of the footplate frame and try
to move it clock and anticlockwise. If it is securely
locked, the footplate frame will not rotate, but you
should notice just a little play.
