7.0 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 wheel locks work correctly
• Check that all removable parts are secure, e.g. arm rest,
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.

8.0 Tyres and Mounting

WARNING!
Always make sure that you maintain the correct tyre
pressure (min. 3.5 bar) 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.
WARNING!
If the tyre pressure is too high, the tyre could burst.
The correct tyre pressure for a given tyre is printed on the
surface of the tyre (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 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
are in good condition.

9.0 Maintenance and Care

• 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.
• If your wheelchair should ever get wet, please dry it
afterwards.
• 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.
