WARRANTY The Joëlette comes with a two years warranty. The Joëlette must be used in strict accordance with the intended use, maintenance and service requirements as set out in this document. Risk of accident and loss of warranty if maintenance is insufficient (page 32). The availability of spare parts is limited to 5 years. For reasons of safety and in order to avoid accidents which result from unnoticed wear, it is important that the Joëlette undergoes a multiannual inspection and minimum once every year under normal operating conditions. Under regular operating conditions, it would be expedient...

HOW TO OPERATE A JOËLETTE In order to make sure that the passenger is in security, the guides should be in a good physical condition. However, you needn’t be a « professional » sportsman to operate it. The Joëlette can also be used for peaceful strolls and walks on easier paths. Operating a Joëlette requires some technical skills and a little training in the beginning. For this reason, we suggest that you start using the Joëlette on easy terrain and then you can progressively increase the degree of difficulty. GENERAL INFORMATION THE TEAM The number of drivers needed to drive a Joëlette can vary...

This position guarantees a comfortable seat for the passenger and also ensures that the Joëlette is well positioned on its balance point. Once the balance point is found, the rear guide uses the rear handlebar adjustment system to have the handles at the height of his pelvis: • A rear handlebar position below the pelvis is uncomfortable for the rider who has to bend • A position of the rear handlebars above the pelvis does not guarantee good safety, especially with regard to the risk of «front tipping» of the Joëlette To adjust the height of the handlebars, the front guide holds the arms firmly...

He has the role of the motor: he brings the traction energy to make the Joëlette move forward. The most efficient traction is done with the body leaning forward, slightly out of the arms of the Joëlette, the arms stretched backwards pulling the sticks. He can also be equipped with a traction harness allowing him to pull with the whole weight of his chest (delivered with the Joëlette). In his pulling energy, he must not in any way upset the balance defined by the rear pilot. He does not intervene in the maintenance of the balance of the Joëlette, (except in exceptional case related to safety,...

To do this, simply remove the original cushions and install the shell on the seat by passing the shell’s attachment system behind the backrest straps. The majority of the shells fit on the Joëlette in its most extended position, an adjustment that must be made when the arms are mounted. There are many different types of disabilities, so the pilots must set up possible adaptations (straps, cushions, foams...) beforehand to ensure the comfort of everyone. The Joëlette can support a weight of 110 kilos. However, for safety reasons, the weight of the passenger should not greatly exceed the weight...

SPECIFIC TECHNICAL HANDLING GOING UPWARDS The front guide must ensure that he/she provides the traction effort while leaving some flexibility in the height of the arms so that the rear rider can balance. The third guide helps to pull the Joëlette in the strong ascents by positioning himself in front of the front pilot and by pulling with a strap that is fixed inside the front arms. The strap should be around the hips and tight. When turning, the guide must be careful to keep his pulling effort in line with the Joëlette. Pulling with the strap is most effective on slopes without large obstacles...

He/she must be careful never to press the front arms downwards as this could cause the Joëlette to tip forward : • The steeper the slope, the higher the front guide’s arms will be. • In case of a very steep slope or a big step down, the front arms will reach above the armpits. In this case, the front guide must turn around to face the passenger and raise his arms as high as necessary to accompany the descent of the Joëlette. • If the wheel of the Joëlette hits an obstacle when going downhill, the traction effort that he will provide must be done in such a way as to cross the obstacle without...

IN CURVES • Avoid turns on the spot, a quarter turn and a half turn. Prefer wide, moving turns. When turning on the spot, warn the back rider and turn slowly, so that the back rider has time to follow the movement by turning the Joëlette without risk of imbalance. • In narrow bends, the front rider must anticipate the position in which the rear rider will be and take the bend in such a way that the rear rider does not end up off the path in a delicate situation (slope, brushwood, tree trunk, etc.). • If necessary, in really tight corners, riders will get into the front arms, or get out of the...

from the wheelchair to the Joëlette. • If the passenger cannot get into the seat by himself, the accompanying persons will help him by positioning themselves on one side of the Joëlette and lifting him into the seat. A common carrying technique is for carers to put their neck under the armpit of the passenger, with one hand behind the back holding the belt and the other hand under the knees and then lift together. Other transfer techniques exist, such as the use of a lift. If the passenger is in a shell, he/she can be transferred with the shell to the Joëlette. To do this, detach the cushions...
