One-Arm Drive; Wheels Equipped With Drum Brakes - progeo BASIC LIGHT User Manual

One-arm drive

This accessory enables the occupant to push and control the wheelchair using only one rear wheel.
This wheel is provided with two independent hand rims: the larger one controls the wheel on the same
side whereas the smaller drives the opposite wheel via shaft A.
When you need to fold the wheelchair, you must first remove the shaft A. To do so, pull one of its two ends to
collapse it (it is internally spring-loaded) until it can be detached from the wheel's axle and completely
removed.
To fit the drive shaft A, insert one of its two extremities on the wheel's axle, then, pull the bar to compress it
as much as necessary to be able to insert the other extremity into the far wheel's axle.
Check the two knobs B regularly. These should not have any play but, at the same time, they
should enable the drive shaft to compress and extend.
This is the ideal condition for driving as well as for inserting and removing drive shaft A.

Wheels equipped with drum brakes

This accessory enables the assistant to brake the wheelchair also when it is in motion. It can
also be used as parking brake.
It is very useful on slopes along which may be difficult for the wheelchair to negotiate.
To brake the wheelchair, just pull up the lever A that is fixed on each push handle.
The stronger the pull, the more braking force is applied to the wheel.
Releasing the levers A stops the braking action.
Drum brakes can also act as parking brakes.
Pull up and keep the lever A, then, push the toothed locking lever B forward (it is located
underneath the main brake lever) and finally release the lever A.
Now the locking lever B keeps lever A locked and the brake action is maintained. To release
the brake from this position, pull up the lever A just enough to be able to release the lever B
and simply release it.
