For reasons of safety and in order to avoid accidents which result from unnoced wear, it is important that

the Joëlee Kid undergoes a mulannual inspecon and minimum once every year under normal operang

condions. Under regular operang condions, it would be expedient to carry out intermediate checks on

the brakes, accessories and running gear.

JOËLETTE KID

The Joëlee Kid is an all-terrain chair that enables praccing hike, running and trekking for mobility-challen-

ged people, with the help of a guide.

It is intended for children from  and whose weight is less than  The child must be

Thanks to its two single-track wheels and its suspension system, the Joëlee Kid goes where no wheelchair

can : tracks, trails, o-trails... !

A handle enables the guide to drive easily the Joëlee Kid since the weight of the passenger rests on the

wheel.

From a simple walk to a very sporty hike, including running, trails and marathons, the Joëlee Kid adapts to

physical capacies and driving of each groups of hikers and runners in Joëlee Kid.

The pair of front arms, in opon, enables you to access the di-

cult tracks, thanks to an other guide in the front.

This user manual contains important informaon about the

handling and the usability of the Joëlee Kid. In order to ensure

safety when using the product, read the user manual carefully

and follow the safety instrucons.

Damages and errors caused by non-observance of the user ma-

nual or as a result of incorrect maintenance are excluded from

all garantees. Do not aempt to perform any work or manipula-

ons that are not described.

The use of the Joëlee Kid is the sole responsibility of the

guide(s).

HOW TO OPERATE A JOËLETTE KID

In order to make sure that the passenger is safe, the guide should be in a good physical condion.

However, you needn’t be a «professional» sportsman to operate it. The Joëlee Kid can olso be used for

peaceful strolls and walks on easier paths.

Operang a Joëlee Kid requires somme technical skills and a lile training in the beginning. For this reason,

we suggest that you start using the Joëlee Kid on easy terrains and then you can progressively increase the

degree of diculty.

GENERAL TECHNIQUES OF DRIVING

THE TEAM

Only one accompagnist is necessary to operate the Joëlee Kid. Addional persons can help according to the

diculty of the walk and their driving experience.

THE GUIDE

The pilot ensures the balance of the Joëlee

Kid. He makes sure the seat is horizontally ba-

lanced with a slight decline to the back. This

posion is very comfortable for the passen-

ger and shows that the Joëlee Kid is well

balanced.

Once the balance is established, the guide

adjusts the back handle to the height that is

the most comfortable for him.

The pilot is also responsible for the inerary.

He observes the terrain and decides which

way to go. He pays aenon to all obstacles

and tries to avoid them. When he can’t, he

has to lean on the back handle to slightly

raise the front wheel.

When the kickstand is open, adjust the han-

dle, to operate comfortably the Joëlee Kid.

If the terrain changes, the pilote has the pos-

sibility to adjust the height of the handle.

THE PASSENGER

He has to tell the pilot when he feels a lack of balance during the trip. Without balance, the passenger is not

at ease which should be corrected immediately by the guide.

It’s not self-evident for a disabled child to agree using the Joëlee Kid since he gives up his autonomy which

he has in a usual wheelchair. His security and mobility enrely depends on the guide. The shock-absorber and

the specic wheels reduce vibraons and shocks to ensure the best comfort.

When the passenger is comfortably installed and se-

cured, move to the side of the Joëlee Kid and hold the

backrest to close and open the kickstand.

At the end of the hike, hold the backrest and move to

the side to open the kickstand.

Yous have to constantly be carefull and stay near the

passenger, even when the kickstand is open, unl he is

not on the Joëlee Kid anymore. The kickstand is only

an assistance in maintening the Joëlee Kid, it doesn’t

avoid any risks of pping over of the Joëlee Kid.

Adjust the lt of the backrest with the two rollers on

the sides.

Adjust the headrest (in opon) at the right height

(at the passenger’s ears), thanks to the two rollers.

A good posioning of the headrest avoids an hype-

rextension of the neck.

Adjust the height of the footrest with the clamping

handle on the right side.

Posion the footrest according to the child’s morpho-

logy. You can change the inclinaon using the roller.

SPECIFIC TECHNICAL HANDLING

GOING DOWNWARDS

In case of descent, the guide uses the brake han-

dle and pays special aenon to the balance of the

Joëlee Kid, to avoid any risk to fall over :

• He operates the brake very smoothly avoiding all

abrupt operaons

• He keeps his hands on the handle, at the height of

his waist.

IN DIFFICULT TRAILS

In case of stronger slopes or important steps :

• A second guide is necessary, he has to communicate with the back guide

• In case of rough terrains, 

• Be careful not to grab the foot of the passenger

• If you have to carry the Joëlee Kid, with the front arms, the back and the front guide respecvely grasp

the handle and the front arms, as close as possible to the passenger to reduce the scope, in order to reduce

the pressure on the removable parts of the front arms.

• It is important to have stable supports to ensure your safety and the passenger’s.

If the passenger fears shocks, dont let the Joëlee Kid fall back suddenly aer passing over an obstacle or stairs.

Amorze the movement by slightly holding back the Joëlee Kid with the front arms and the back handle.

IN CURVES

The Joëlee Kid has xed wheels. In curves, you have to lean on the back handle, to slightly raise the front

wheel.

IN CROSS SLOPES

In cross slopes, the seat of the Joëlee Kid must be

horizontal so the weight of the passenger lean on the

wheels. The front arms opon is highly recommended.

Kid, beginning with easy terrains and then progres-

sively nd more dicult paths.

Keep in mind that the child’s comfort and security

are the main focus of all acvies with the Joëlee

Kid !

INSTALLATION OF THE CHILD ON THE JOËLETTE KID

TRANSFER

To open the kickstand, make sure you are on a at ground. Ins-

tall the child unl the best posion is reached. The plastron

must be curled. Always hold the Joëlee Kid with one hand

unl you reach your guide posion.

Be careful and always hold the Joëlee Kid when you close/

open the kickstand.

Make sure the Joëlee Kid is stabilized.

Always remember to take it easy when you install the child.

Make sure your tranfert technique is appropriate for the di-

sabled passenger. Ask him : he is the one who knows beer

his disability and will be able to tell you what kind of help he

needs.

JOËLETTE KID WITH

THE INTERFACE FOR

SEAT CORSET

The interface adapts to all types of seat corset, aer a few minors modica-

ons that your ortho-prosthest can do. Respect the following security rules

to make sure that it is in its good posion. For the hike, your seat corset must

be equipped with reinforcements which rmly x it to the base (see on the

photo). Ask your orthoprosthesist for more informaon.

Your seat-corset must be pre-installed before the transfer. The security rules

must be carefully respected.
