Permobil raised armrest lock
I’m still working on getting the wheelchair I got in November usable. My rep never came back to adjust things before COVID came along, so recently I’ve started trying to fix it up myself. I found out one of the reasons I was having so much trouble getting it right was that it came broken. I figured out what was wrong and asked them to order a part for me. So while I’m waiting on that part to get sent to me, I’m trying to get solutions to the other issues I have with the chair.
When I transfer on/off the chair, I have to lift the armrests up so they’re pointing straight up and they don’t seem very stable in that position. It doesn’t take much to make them fall back down and they’re pretty heavy, especially the one with the joystick attached. It’s not really nice being smacked in the back with one while transferring. Has anybody found a way to have the armrests sort of lock in that up position or some kind of clip or device I can put on it to hold it in place better? On the old scooters I’ve used the armrests rub against the seat back and will stay in any position I put them in so I’ve never had this issue before. Thanks for any help!
