PROTEGO / SL
To achieve optimum braking efficiency, the braking power is set by
using the adjusting screw (see fig. 33). The braking power is increased
by unscrewing the adjusting screw and reduced by tightening it.
•
Please unscrew the adjusting screw until you notice friction noises
on the wheel when it is turning.
•
Then tighten the adjusting screw until the friction noises disappear.
The wheel then runs freely.
•
After completing the setting, the adjusting screw is fixed by
tightening the locknut.
4.15. Tip protection
Always use the anti-tip wheels in pairs.
•
The anti-tipping protectors, known as anti-tippers, prevent the
wheelchair from tipping over backwards.
•
It is highly recommended that the anti-tippers be used when
the wheelchair is being operated by inexperienced users or by
wheelchair users with an amputated leg.
•
The anti-tippers are attached as a pair to the right-hand and left-
hand sides of the frame.
•
The height of the anti-tippers can be adjusted.
•
Press the positioning pin inwards and slide the anti-tipper into the
desired position (Fig. 34).
•
Make sure that both anti-tippers are placed at the same height
The anti-tippers will only work when set to the first
two holes. When the anti-tippers are fully retracted,
the wheelchair should only be used when the person
in the wheelchair has someone assisting them.
4.16. Tipping lever
•
The tipping lever makes it easier for an assistant to tilt the
wheelchair slightly backwards in order to go over a step for
example.
•
To do this, push the lever down using your foot (Fig. 35)
•
Use the push handles to keep your balance.
•
Use the frame on the anti-tippers as a tipping lever.
4.17. Head rest
•
The Protego wheelchair is equipped with a headrest; its angle,
height and depth can be adjusted.
•
Pull the locking mechanism on the backrest out (Fig. 36).
•
Position the headrest at the desired height and then let go of the
locking mechanism.
•
The slide bar will snap into place in the next possible position.
•
The depth of the headrest can be adjusted with the help of a quick
release fastener in the neck area of the headrest (Fig. 37)
•
Place the headrest at the required depth.
•
Re-tighten the screws.
•
Loosen the screw.
•
Put the headrest at the desired angle (Fig. 38).
•
Then re-tighten the screws.
