PROTEGO / SL
Push rim
The push rim attached to the driving wheels can be fitted a little further
outwards, so that you can grip it better. Changing the push rim position
increases the risk of your fingers getting trapped or crushed.
First loosen the four screws (see fig. 25) used to attach the push rim
to the driving wheels. Then fasten the push rim in a position that is
further out and tighten the screws again.
4.11. Floating axies
To make the transport of your wheelchair considerably
easier, the wheels are equipped with floating axles as
standard:
•
Press the locking button of the floating axle with your finger and
pull the wheel off
•
When refitting the wheel, simply push the wheel back onto the
mount. At the same time, press in the locking button as wel.
When attaching, make sure that the floating axle is inserted right up
to the stop! After attaching, check that the wheel is securely fixed by
pulling it towards you, without operating the locking button of the
floating axle!
4.12. Abduction wedge (optional)
•
The optionally available abduction wedge (knee separator) can
be adjusted to the seat depth by changing its position in the rail
located underneath the seat.
•
Loosen the plastic screws, put the wedge in the desired position
and re-tighten the screws (Fig. 28).
•
To change the position of the abduction wedge in relation to the
patient, you must loosen the top plastic screw, slide the abduction
wedge along the rail and then re-tighten the screw.
4.13. Trunk support pads (optional)
•
The trunk support pads for the Protego wheelchair are optionally
available and their height, width and angles can be adjusted.
•
Loosen both of the hexagon socket screws (SW 6) on the mounting
of the side part (Fig. 29).
•
Position the trunk support pads at the desired height and width of
the chest.
•
Re-tighten the hexagon socket screws.
•
To lower the trunk support pads, you must loosen the plastic screw
on the guide rail, move the trunk support pads to the desired
position and then re-tighten the plastic screw (Fig. 30).
•
To fine-tune adjustments of the angle in relation to the chest,
loosen the hexagon socket screw (SW 1).
•
Put the trunk support pad in the correct position and then re-
tighten the screw (Fig. 31).
4.14. Drum brake (optional)
As an option, the Protego can be equipped with a drum brake, which
should only be operated by an attendant person via the brake lever on
the push handles.
The drum brake should be used as both a locking brake and also as a
service brake. When used as a service brake, it provides well-regulated
deceleration. The locking brake function is used for parking.
•
To lock the brake, simply pull the brake lever and push the locking
lever upwards (see fig. 32).
•
To release the locking brake again, simply pull the brake lever
briefly. (The locking mechanism releases automatically.)
