1 INTENDED USE AND CONDITION OF USE
The ultra-light wheelchair Progeo® EGO is a folding wheelchair with crossbar system.
The wheelchair EGO is self-propelled which means that it can be moved manually by using the
hand rims on the rear wheels.
It can have both a rehabilitative and active function and it is thus suitable for a daily use by users
with different kinds of pathologies.
It is used to guarantee either fully independent or assisted (with an attendant) movement for a
person with reduced or fully impaired movement in one or more parts of the body.
As it has such a large range of accessories and configurations, the wheelchair can be used in full
safety both inside (at home, at school, etc.) and outside (on the road, pavement, courtyard, etc.) as
long as the temperature is within -30°C and +60°C.
Where the user is affected by particularly severe pathologies or with people who are unable to
move at all on their own, an attendant is always advisable. We also discourage use over hilly,
particularly soft, sandy or uneven ground, slopes exceeding the recommended gradient and acid
environments.
In the daily use of the wheelchair, the user may come across situations such as rough
or irregular terrains (gravel, cobblestones, holes on the ground, etc.) or slippery terrains
(wet, sandy, dusty, oily hard surfaces, etc.). In all such situations and, in general, in all
those cases where the use of the wheelchair can be difficult or risky (for the wheelchair
and its user), it is always advisable to drive carefully and smoothly with no sudden
acceleration or hard braking.
When the difficulty or risk is high, an attendant is always advisable.
The maximum gradeability of the wheelchair, in order to prevent tipping back, is
3° (6%).
Maximum load for the model EGO: 125 kg.
According to its dimensional and structural characteristics the wheelchair model EGO is ideal for
use by both teenagers and adults.
2 PUT INTO SERVICE / USE
It is important that a general check of all the functional parts of the wheelchair IS
CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED AND AUTHORISED PERSONNEL ONLY, both to
assess its suitability and to provide the user and his/her possible attendant with
the correct instruction of use.
Should the user and/or his/her attendant find any malfunctioning of any part of
the wheelchair, he/she is bound to contact the dealer to solve the problem.
Neglecting the instructions and information written in this manual may cause
malfunctioning and/or damage to the wheelchair and/or to the user and/or to third
parties. Rehateam s.r.l is not responsible for any damage to the wheelchair
and/or to the user and/or to third parties, caused by or coming from neglecting
such instructions and information.
