8.0 Maintenance

Periodic inspection of the wheelchair is vital to guarantee maximum
performance and a long life. A careful check, repeated at regular
intervals, along with an appropriate use of the wheelchair (see
chapters 2.0 "Safety" and 5.0 "Using the wheelchair") will ensure
that your wheelchair will last for many years.
To clean the aluminium parts (frame, hand rims, brakes etc..), the
backrest and the seat, we recommend using only a soft, damp
cloth.
Within 6 months from purchase, we recommend to go
to an authorized PROGEO dealer for a complete check
up of your wheelchair. The manufacturer will accept
no responsibility in case of non compliance with the
instructions or recommendations as set out in this
manual and any such activity will result in the
immediate cancellation
warranty.
We recommend paying particular attention to
the cleaning of the handrims of the rear wheels,
which become dirty very easily because of their
constant use and nearness to the ground. Careful
cleaning the handrims will ensure optimum grip
and therefore safer operation.
When cleaning the wheelchair, do not use abrasive
cleaning agents or degreasing substances which
could cause damage.
Sand and sea water may damage the wheel
bearings. Check the bearings carefully if contact
is suspected. Lubricate with a non-resin based
light bicycle oil.
of the manufacturer's
Tighten firmly all screws and replace lock nuts that
are used frequently. In fact, with frequent loosening
and tightening they tend to lose their effectiveness.
Have a complete check of the wheelchair carried out (at
least every three months) by qualified personnel
authorized for
products.

your PROGEO wheelchair, the experienced technical staff at

8.1 Replacements of worn parts
With its use, any wheelchair will require, in addition to the routine
maintenance as indicated in chapter 8.0 "Maintenance", further
"unscheduled" intervention due to the normal wear and tear of
components. This maintenance is closely linked to amount and
type of use the wheelchair is subjected (e.g. use over rough
terrain, in coastal areas with more airborne salt etc..)
Repairing a puncture
Remove the wheel (front or rear) and fully deflate by pressing the
valve (this procedure is not required for solid tyre).
