  • Page 9 IMPORTANT! In certain configurations, the wheelchair may exceed 700 mm in width. In such cases, under certain circumstances, it may not be possible to use some or all of the available escape routes from a building. If the wheelchair configuration causes the wheelchair width to exceed 700 mm, it may be difficult or impossible to travel on public transport.
  • Page 10 5 PUTTING THE WHEELCHAIR INTO SERVICE AND REGULAR USE GENERAL INFORMATION WARNING! It is important that all the wheelchair’s functional parts are CHECKED ONLY BY QUALIFIED AND AUTHORISED PERSONNEL, both to assess its suitability and to provide the correct instructions for use to occupant and carer where applicable.
  • Page 11 CAUTION! The installation and use of electrification, mechanical and/or electrical drive devices (lifts, stairlift) or any other accessory not provided by Rehateam s.r.l. at the time of delivery may result in stresses that were not foreseen during product testing and therefore the integrity and complete safety of the product is not guaranteed.

  • Page 27 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 28 Depending on the occupant’s needs, the wheelchair can be provided with either of the above footrest versions. In the order form, according to the type of footrest, you can choose its position (internal, external or intermediate). 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 29 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 properly inserted in the slot of support (2).

  • Page 30 5.8.2 Front frame with removable footrest POSITION OF USE Check that the footrest frame is securely locked to its support. With one hand (1), take hold of the footrest frame and try to move it clock and anticlockwise. If it is securely locked, the footrest frame will not rotate, but you should notice just a little play.
  • Page 31 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 32 ROTATION To swing the footrest away (inwards or outwards), turn the lock lever (3) and then turn the footrest.

  • Page 34 5.10 TILT-IN-SPACE The tilt-in-space action within the central chassis is assured by means of a 7- position-toothed-mechanism. The lever (1) controls the toothed mechanism. The system includes two gas “free” springs (these are not controlled) that 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 35 WARNING! When the seat is tilted backward, also the wheelchair’s centre of balance moves in the same direction. Hence, it is vital that the two anti-tipping wheels (2) are always positioned facing backwards as a safety mechanism preventing the wheelchair from tipping backwards.
  • Page 36 5.11 RECLINING BACKREST With the reclining backrest (optional – not included in the standard configuration) you can adjust the backrest inclination from 90° to 125° with respect to the seat, without any tools. The lever (1), in fact, controls the mechanism consisting of two gas springs that push the backrest back to the vertical position (90°), whereas they dampen the tilting movement in the opposite direction to counteract the acceleration induced by the user’s weight.
  • Page 37 Failure to comply with this warning could harm the occupant. Rehateam s.r.l is not liable for failure to heed this warning. PUTTING THE WHEELCHAIR INTO SERVICE AND REGULAR USE - 37...
  • Page 38 WARNING! When tilting the backrest backward, also the centre of balance of the wheelchair moves in the same direction. Hence, it is vital that the two anti-tipping castors are always positioned facing backwards as a safety mechanism preventing the wheelchair from tipping backwards.
  • Page 39 5.13 ADJUSTABLE BACKREST UPHOLSTERY The backrest can be adjusted to the occupant requirements by tensioning or slackening the two special Velcro straps fitted inside the backrest itself. To carry out the adjustment, lift or remove the upholstery, tighten, or slacken the Velcro straps as required and replace the upholstery.
  • Page 40 CAUTION! Do not use the armrest as a hand hold to raise the wheelchair; this may cause the armrests to come off from their supports, damaging the wheelchair and harming the occupant. Do not use the armrest for support when transferring to or from the wheelchair.
  • Page 41 5.14.2 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. Furthermore, the armrests also comprise a straight clothing guard. POSITION OF USE To check that the armrest is coupled correctly, take hold of the pad (1) with one hand and pull it up.
  • Page 42 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 pad.
  • Page 43 Failure to observe this warning could result in damage to the occupant, third parties or the vehicle, for which Rehateam s.r.l. shall not be liable. 5.15.2 Wheelchair lifetime Progeo wheelchairs are used on a daily basis and they are consequently subject to continuous stress that causes inevitable wear and tear of the parts.
  • Page 44 WARNING! Rehateam s.r.l. will not be liable for failure to comply with the instructions or recommendations set out in this manual and any such activity will result in the immediate cancellation of the manufacturer's warranty.
  • Page 45 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 46 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 47 (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 the occupant is not able to perform this movement alone, or if the movement is to be performed on an uneven surface, a carer should lend help.
  • Page 48 STARTING TO DRIVE YOUR WHEELCHAIR FINDING THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY 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 49 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-TIPPING SYSTEM.
  • Page 50 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 51 6.4.2 Negotiating a step with a carer 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 52 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 53 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 54 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: you could fall off the wheelchair.
  • Page 55 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. LYING SIDEWAYS Do not move your upper body beyond the rear wheel as the wheelchair could overbalance.
  • Page 56 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 57 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.
