2.10 Armrests
The model TEKNA TILT adulto / TEKNA TILT junior is always equipped with desk armrests.
The armrests are provided as standard in this model.
They are particularly useful for people with reduced mobility of their hands or arms and for those
with limited upper body movement who require better stability once seated in the wheelchair
.
Do not use the armrest as hand hold to raise the wheelchair; this may cause
the armrests to come off from their supports and in turn cause harm to the
user and to the wheelchair
Do not use the armrest as supports when making transfer.
We indeed recommend swinging the armrest away on the side of the transfer
to help the operation.
This type of armrest is quite practical. You can remove it to make transfer easier.
The Desk armrest includes a skirt guard.
Always check the armrests are securely locked in their using position.
If this instruction is ignored the wheelchair or the user may overbalance.
In order to check the correct position of use, with one hand, take
hold of the armrest’s pad and try to pull it up.
If correctly locked, the armrest does not come off the support S, nor
does the pad moves up.
To remove the armrest, lower the lever A first, then, take hold of the
armrest’s pad and pull it off.
To lock the armrest in its using position, first, make sure the lever A
is lowered. Then, insert the tube T into the support S.
Finally, raise the lever A.
Check the armrest is securely locked as above-mentioned.
.
The user can also easily height adjust the armrest.
Turn the lever B by 90° and then pull the pad up or push it down to the desired height.
After adjustment, turn the lever B until it locks in one of the holes of the tube T.
