Tyres and mounting

TYRES AND MOUNTING
Solid tyres are standard.
With pneumatic tyres make sure that you maintain the correct tyre
pressure, as this can have an effect on wheelchair performance. If
the tyre pressure is too low, rolling resistance will increase, requiring
more effort to move the chair forward. Low tyre pressure also has a
negative impact on manoeuvrability. If the tyre pressure is too high,
the tyre could burst. The correct pressure for a given tyre is printed
on the surface of the tyre itself.
Tyres can be mounted the same way as an ordinary bicycle tyre.
Before installing a new inner tube, you should always make sure
that the base of the rim and the interior of the tyre are free of foreign
objects. Check the pressure after mounting or repairing a tyre. It is
critical to your safety and to the wheelchair's performance that
regulation air pressure be maintained and that tyres be in good
condition.

Maintenance and care

SAFETY CHECK:

As the user you will be the first person to notice any possible
defects. We therefore recommend that before each use, you check
the following:
The tyre pressure is correct.
The brakes work correctly.
All removable parts are securely fastened (e.g. armrests, footrest
hangers, quick-release axles ...).
If there is any damage/defect, please contact your authorised dealer.
MAINTENANCE:
Check the tyre pressure at regular intervals.
Check all tyres for wear and damage at regular intervals, at least
annually. Change the tyres as soon as there is any sign of damage
or wear.
Check the seat and back sling for wear and damage at regular
intervals, at least annually. Change these items as soon as there is
any sign of damage or wear.
Check all frame and backrest components for wear and damage at
regular intervals, at least annually. Change these items as soon as
there is any sign of damage or wear.
Check the brakes for wear and damage at regular intervals, at least
annually. Check that they are working properly and are easy to use.
Change the brakes as soon as there is any sign of damage or wear.
Check to make sure all bolts are secure (see the section on torque)
at regular intervals, at least annually. All screws which are critical to
using the wheelchair safely have safety nuts. Safety nuts should
only be used once and should be replaced after use.
If torque settings are given, then we strongly recommend
NOTE:
that you use a torque measuring device, in order to check that you
have tightened to the correct torque.
Please use only mild household cleaners when your wheelchair is
dirty. Use only soap and water when cleaning the seat upholstery
and lap belt.
Depending on the frequency and type of use, we recommend taking
your wheelchair to your authorised dealer regularly, but at least
within a year, to have it maintained by trained personnel.
CAUTION!
Sand, salt and sea water can damage the bearings of the front and
rear wheels. Clean and dry the wheelchair carefully, after they have
been exposed to these elements.
