Tyres that are too soft will have a
negative effect on the wheelchair's
performance. It will also cost more
energy to move the wheelchair forward
and this will also cause the batteries to
be depleted faster. Furthermore, wear on
the tyres when driving with soft tyres is
unnecessarily high.

Discarding the wheelchair

The lifespan of a wheelchair is influenced
by the extent to which it is maintained. To
be able to take maximum advantage of
the lifespan of your wheelchair we
recommend regular maintenance (see
chapter maintenance).
The environment
If your wheelchair has come to
be superfluous or needs to be
replaced, it can usually be
taken back by your dealer in
consultation. If this is not possible,
please ask your local authority about the
possibilities of recycling or
environmentally friendly disposal of the
materials.
In the production of a wheelchair, many
different plastics and materials are
incorporated. Furthermore, the
wheelchair is comprised of various
electronic components that should be
disposed of as electronic waste. The
batteries should be put in the chemical
waste bin. No environmental contribution
for eventual recycling applies to
wheelchairs.
8.4 Long term storage of the
wheelchair
TWhen the wheelchair will be stored for a
long period of time (> 4 months) the
batteries should be disconnected.
Before re-use of the wheelchair it needs
to be checked by a certified service
engineer.
