  • Page 22 FOOTREST 5.7.1 General information WARNING! When transferring to and from the wheelchair, never keep your feet on the footrest; excessive weight on the footrest may result in it breaking with harm to the occupant. After each operation, check that the footrest is always in the correct operating position.
  • Page 23 Depending on the occupant’s needs, the wheelchair can be provided with either of the above footrest versions. In the order form, you can choose the footrest position (internal, external or intermediate), depending on the type. Single footrests are more rigid than the dual versions and they are recommended for occupants subject to frequent spasms or who apply a lot of force to the footrest.
  • Page 24 5.7.2 Dual footrest Make sure both footrests are fully lowered before using the wheelchair. 5.7.3 Single flip-up aluminium footrest Make sure that the locking pin (1) is inserted properly into the recess in the support (2).

  • Page 25 5.8.2 Front frame with removable footrest POSITION FOR USE Check that the footrest frame is securely locked to its support. Grasp the footrest frame with one hand (1) and try to turn it to the right and left. If it is securely locked, the footrest frame will not rotate, but you should notice just a little play.
  • Page 26 IMPORTANT! If the wheelchair is equipped with a single footrest, it must always be raised before swinging the footrest away. If the wheelchair is equipped with a dual footrest, it must be raised only if the footrest is swung inwards. HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE FOOTRESTS This type of frame allows to change the angle of the footplate’s frame and thus of the posture of the lower limbs.
  • Page 27 SWINGING To swing the footrest inward or outward, turn the lock lever (3) and then turn the footrest in the desired direction. To return it to its position for use, swing it until a click indicates it is locked (the lever (3) automatically moves to the locking position). REMOVAL/INSERTION To remove the footrest, turn the lock lever (3), then turn the footrest outward by 90°, and finally pull it upward until the pin (4) comes out of the post (5).
  • Page 28 5.10 TILT-IN-SPACE The tilt-in-space function is assured by 2 gas springs (one per side), which are controlled by a single release lever on the push handle. When you press the lever, the gas springs push the seat as it returns towards its minimum inclination position, whereas they dampen the tilting movement in the opposite direction to counteract the acceleration induced by the occupant’s weight.
  • Page 29 WARNING! When the seat is tilted backward, also the wheelchair’s centre of balance moves in the same direction. It is therefore essential that the anti-tip wheels (2) are always facing backwards in order to act as a safety mechanism. The wheelchair could overbalance due to a combination of various factors such as the seat inclination, the type and position of the backrest, the occupant’s anatomy and disability as well as the surface the wheelchair is used on.
  • Page 30 5.11 CALF STRAP In some cases, depending on the diameter of the front wheel and the width of the wheelchair, the front wheel may come into contact with the heel of the occupant's foot when turning. To prevent this contact and prevent the wheelchair from tipping over, the wheelchair is equipped with a heel strap that must be adjusted so that the occupant's feet never come into contact with the front wheels.
  • Page 31 5.12 ADJUSTABLE BACKREST UPHOLSTERY The backrest can be adjusted to the occupant's requirements by tensioning or slackening the two special Velcro straps inside the padding. To adjust them, lift or remove the padding, tighten, or slacken the Velcro straps as required, and replace the padding. CAUTION! The combination of the inclination of the seat with the inclination of the backrest posts and the inclination of a postural backrest with respect to the...
  • Page 32 CAUTION! Do not use armrests as hand holds to lift the wheelchair as the armrests could come out of their supports, possibly damaging the wheelchair or harming the occupant. Do not use the armrest for support when transferring to or from the wheelchair.
  • Page 33 5.13.2 Armrest Desk Progeo This type of armrest is very practical and can be removed completely, making it much easier to move the wheelchair and transport it. Moreover, the armrests also comprise a straight clothing guard. POSITION FOR USE To check that the armrest is in the correct position for use, grasp the armrest padding (1) with one hand and try to pull it up.
  • Page 34 WARNING! Always check the armrests are securely locked in their using position. If this instruction is ignored, the armrest may disengage and the occupant may fall from the wheelchair. Be careful not to pinch or crush your fingers when fully lowering the armrest padding.
  • Page 35 5.14.2 Wheelchair lifetime Progeo wheelchairs are used on a daily basis, and they are consequently subject to continuous stresses that inevitably lead to wear and tear of the parts. With this in mind, Progeo wheelchairs have a lifetime of 5 years provided they receive thorough periodic maintenance.

  • Page 37 PREVENT ACCIDENTS 6.1.1 Movements Avoid sudden, jerky movements when using the wheelchair as this could cause it to overbalance. If your path is obstructed by obstacles, avoid sudden movements (such as abrupt braking). There is increased risk of skidding on irregular or damp ground.
  • Page 38 WARNING! When using the brakes, great care should be taken to avoid injury to the hands or fingers. MOVEMENTS: GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE WHEELCHAIR Wheelchair transfers must always be performed with extreme care and caution, even by experienced occupants, and only after receiving instruction from fully trained specialists.
  • Page 39 (1) Lean on the wheelchair and, where possible, on a stable object nearby. Use the force of your arms to raise and move your body. (2) If you are unable to perform this movement alone, or if the movement is to be performed on an uneven surface, get help from an assistant.
  • Page 40 STARTING TO DRIVE YOUR WHEELCHAIR FINDING THE BALANCE POINT Your ability to control and safely tip the wheelchair mainly depends on your seating position and the location of the centre of gravity with respect to the rear wheels. The correct position of the rear wheels depends on different factors such as the occupant’s weight, type of disability and the occupant’s driving skills.
  • Page 41 WARNING! If you hang a backpack, a bag or any other object on the push handlebars or any rear area of the wheelchair, the resulting uneven weight distribution can significantly affect the risk of overbalancing. TO PREVENT THE WHEELCHAIR FROM OVERBALANCING DURING NORMAL USE, WE RECOMMEND FITTING AN ANTI-TIP SYSTEM.
  • Page 42 6.4.1 Going up and down a step by yourself GOING DOWN Take the wheelchair right up to the obstacle so that the front wheels are as close as possible to it. Raise the front castors by tilting the wheelchair while maintaining balance. Slide the rear wheels very carefully over the edge.
  • Page 43 6.4.2 Negotiating a step with an assistant GOING DOWN Take the wheelchair right up to the obstacle so that the front wheels are as close as possible to it. Grip the rear handles tightly and push down to raise the front of the wheelchair.
  • Page 44 GOING UP AND DOWN A SERIES OF STEPS DANGER! In the case of stairs with more than one step, two assistants are always required. The first assistant stands behind the wheelchair and holds the push handles. The second assistant grasps a fixed part of the front frame, guiding the wheelchair manoeuvre from the front.
  • Page 45 GOING UPHILL Driving up any kind of slope should be done with extreme care. The occupant must move at speed by generating force on the rear wheel while at the same time maintaining control over the wheelchair. Lean forwards and keep your weight forward in the chair to prevent the wheelchair from tipping over backwards.
  • Page 46 To achieve maximum occupant control of the wheelchair, we illustrate some situations which may emerge during normal daily use of the wheelchair. Please pay particular attention to the following to maintain balance and stability at all times. WARNING! Do not lean too far forward; you may fall out of the wheelchair. Do not move forward by sliding your pelvis across the seat cushion to reach objects that are too far away as you could fall out of the wheelchair.
  • Page 47 LEANING BACKWARDS Ensure that the front castors are pointing forwards. To do this, move the wheelchair forwards and then backwards. Do not apply the parking brakes. Lean backwards without changing your sitting position. LEANING SIDEWAYS Do not move your upper body beyond the rear wheel as the wheelchair could overbalance.
  • Page 48 TRASPORT OF THE WHEELCHAIR There is no single best way to load the wheelchair into a vehicle. Factors include the type and degree of the occupant’s disability (his/her ability to control his/her upper body, arm, and hand movements), physical strength (the operation may be too difficult for an older person or a child) and the type of vehicle that will be used.
  • Page 49 TRASPORT OF THE OCCUPIED WHEELCHAIR Always make sure the wheelchair is suitable to transporting the user in a vehicle. The symbols on the product label indicate if the wheelchair is or not crash tested and, accordingly, if it can be used for the transport of the user on a motor vehicle.
