Daily Checks

CAUTION!
As the user, you are the first person to notice any possible
defects. We therefore recommend that before each use,
you check the items in the following list:
• Check for correct tyre pressures
• Check that the brakes work correctly
• Check that all removable parts are secure, e.g.
armrest, footrest, quick-release axle etc.
• Check for visible damage e.g. on the frame, backrest,
seat sling and back sling, wheels, footplate etc
• If there is any damage or malfunction, please contact your
authorised dealer.

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, (min 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 brakes 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.
