MAINTENANCE
Periodic inspection of the wheelchair is vital to guarantee maximum performance and a long life. A
careful check, repeated at regular intervals, along with an appropriate use of the wheelchair will
ensure that your wheelchair will last for many years.
To clean the aluminium or carbon fibre parts (frame, hand rims, brakes etc.), the backrest and the
seat, we recommend using only a soft, damp cloth.
Within
6 months from purchase, we recommend to go to an authorized
PROGEO dealer for a complete check-up of your wheelchair. The
manufacturer will accept no responsibility in case of noncompliance with the
instructions or recommendations as set out in this manual and any such
activity will result in the immediate cancellation of the manufacturer's
warranty.
We recommend paying particular attention to the cleaning of the hand rims of
the rear wheels, which become dirty very easily because of their constant use
and nearness to the ground. Careful cleaning the hand rims will ensure
optimum grip and therefore safer operation.
When cleaning the wheelchair, do not use abrasive cleaning agents or
degreasing substances, which could cause damage.
Sand and seawater may damage the wheel bearings. Check the bearings
carefully if contact is suspected. Lubricate with a non-resin based light
bicycle oil.
Tighten firmly all screws and replace lock nuts that are used frequently. In
fact, with frequent loosening and tightening they tend to lose their
effectiveness.
Have a complete check of the wheelchair carried out (at least every three
months) by qualified personnel authorized for maintenance on PROGEO®
products.
For any questions relating to the adjustment and maintenance of your PROGEO wheelchair, the
experienced technical staff at RehaTEAM are at the complete disposal of all our clients.

Replacements of worn parts
With its use, any wheelchair will require, in addition to the routine maintenance, further
“unscheduled” intervention due to the normal wear and tear of components. This maintenance is
closely linked to amount and type of use the wheelchair is subjected (e.g. use over rough terrain, in
coastal areas with more airborne salt etc.).
Repairing a puncture
In the event of a puncture, remove the wheel and Remove the tyre using bicycle tyre levers.
Remove the inner tube and repair it using a standard puncture repair kit and the same procedure
used for repairing a normal bicycle inner tube.
If repair is not possible then you will need to replace the inner tube.
The rear wheel tyres should be replaced whenever excessive or irregular wear is noticed since this
results in reducing the performance of the wheelchair.
To re-fit an inner tube and tyre onto the wheel rim it is necessary to inflate the inner tube partially.
Next, insert the valve into the hole on the rim and, using both hands and bicycle tyre levers, insert
the inner tube into the tyre and work the edge of the tyre over the wheel rim. While re-fitting the
tyre, be careful not to pinch the inner tube and make sure the tyre is evenly fixed all around the
wheel rim. Finally, inflate to the correct pressure.
When worn out, solid tyres should be replaced with new ones.
Spare parts
For the replacement of parts due to wear and tear or breakage (or simply for the purchase of
accessories) all the necessary spare parts to keep your wheelchair in perfect working order will
remain readily available.
All spare parts can be ordered through our authorized dealers
