Adjusting The Side Rails - progeo Exelle User Manual

so that the distance D is about 0.5 cm (0.6 cm with the
anti-puncture tyre) (see figure 65).
Once the correct position has been reached, remove the rear
wheel to facilitate re-tightening of the screw on support S . Fully
tighten this screw and replace the rear wheel.
Check the correct functioning of the brakes by
conducting specific brake tests.
Check that all parts are secure by pushing hard
on the brake lever (while braking). If the brake
support or the rod should move or slip during
this test, check that the screws are tightened
fully.
If the setup of the rear wheel is changed, the
brakes will need re-adjusting.
The correct functioning of the brakes also depends
on correct rear tyre pressure being maintained.
(see chapter 2.6
Tyre pressure ).
The parking brakes are designed to keep the
wheelchair in position when stationary. For safety
reasons we do not recommend using the parking
brakes for braking while the wheelchair is in
motion.
6.10 Adjustment of the backrest
The backrest can be adjusted to user requirements by
tensioning or slackening the two special Velcro straps hidden

within the backrest itself (figure 67). To carry out adjustment, lift or
remove the padding (figure 66), tighten or slacken the Velcro
straps as required (figure 67) and re-close the padding.
6.11 Adjustment of the side rails
It is possible to adjust the side guards; both mud guard and straight
models, both for height and depth. The side guard is fixed using
two screws to aluminium supports equipped with slots.
It is therefore sufficient to remove the screws C (use a 3 mm
Allen key) and the corresponding nuts and washers C
spanner) and re-insert them in the desired position. If it proves
necessary (for example when the position of the rear wheel is
changed or the wheel itself is changed), slacken the screw A
and rotate the support until the desired position is reached (fig.
68).
