Tyres and Mounting

TYRES AND MOUNTING
Solid tyres are fitted as standard from the factory.
If pneumatic tyres are used, 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, (Max 3.5 bar).
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

MAINTENANCE
• Check the tyre pressure every 4 weeks. Check all tyres for
wear and damage.
• Check the wheel locks approximately every 4 weeks to make
sure that they are working properly and are easy to use.
• Change tyres as you would an ordinary bicycle tyre.
• All of the joints that are critical to using your wheelchair safely
are self-locking nuts.
• Please check every three months to make sure that all bolts
are secure (see the section on torque).
• Safety nuts should only be used once and should be replaced
after use.
• Please use only mild household cleansers when your
wheelchair is dirty. Use only soap and
• water when cleaning the seat upholstery and lap belt.
• If your wheelchair should ever get wet, please dry it after use,
to avoid rust and salt corrosion.
• A small amount of sewing-machine oil should be applied to
quick release axles approximately every 8 weeks. Depending
on the frequency and type of use, we recommend taking your
wheelchair to your authorised dealer every 6 months to have it
inspected by trained personnel.
CAUTION!
Sand and sea water (or salt in the winter) can damage the
bearings of the front and rear wheels. Clean the wheelchair
thoroughly after exposure.
The following parts can be removed and sent to the
manufacturer / dealer for repair:
Rear wheels, Armrest, Hanger, Anti – tips. These components
are available as spares. More details can be found in the parts
manual.

HYGIENE WHEN BEING REUSED:

When the chair is to be reused, it should be prepared carefully,
and wiped and treated with spray disinfectant on all surfaces
which could come into contact with the user.
In doing this, you must use a liquid for alcoholic quick
disinfection for medical products and medical inventory when
you require a quick effect. Please pay attention to the
manufacturer's instructions of the disinfectant you are using.
In general, a safe disinfectant cannot be guaranteed on seams.
We therefore recommend, that you properly dispose of seat
and back slings in the case of micro bacterial contamination
with active agents according to § 6 infection protection law.
STORAGE
Please store/keep the wheelchair in a dry place.
