14.0 Maintenance and Cleaning

CAUTION!
It is important that you follow the following cleaning and
maintenance schedule in order to keep your wheelchair in tip
top condition.

14.1 Tyre maintenance and pressures

14.1.1 Tyre pressure
CAUTION!
If pneumatic tyres are fitted to your wheelchair it is important to
regularly check the air pressure and for signs of wear.
The correct pressures are between the minimum of 137
kiloPascals (20 psi, 1.37 bar) and the maximum 241
kiloPascals (35 psi, 2.41 bar) for rear and front wheels (see
side of tyre).
The pressure will need to vary, depending on the weight of the
user.
NOTE: It is important that front wheels are inflated to equal
pressures as a pair, and likewise the rear. The inflator pump
provides the safest method of inflating your wheelchair tyres
and the pressure can be checked with a standard motor vehicle
pressure gauge.
DANGER!
• Do not inflate beyond the maximum allowed tyre pressure.
• Always use the pump that is supplied with the chair,
• Never use a forecourt pump
14.1.2 Tyre wear
When inspecting the tyres for signs of wear, look for significant
scuff marks, cuts and a diminished tyre tread. Tyres will
need to be changed when the tread cannot be seen over the
complete surface of the tyre, (Fig.14.1).
