Tires and Mounting

Tires and Mounting (8.1)
Always make sure you that you maintain the correct tire pressure,
as this can have an effect on wheelchair performance. If the tire
pressure is too low, rolling resistance will increase, requiring more
effort to move the chair forward; low tire pressure also has a nega-
tive impact on maneuverability. If the tire pressure is too high, the
tire could burst. The correct pressure for a given tire is printed on
the surface of the tire itself. Tires can be mounted the same way as
an ordinary bicycle tire. Before installing a new inner tube, you
should always make sure that the base of the rim and the interior
of the tire are free of foreign objects. Check the pressure after
mounting or repairing a tire. It is critical to your safety and to the
wheelchair's performance that regulation air pressure be maintai-
ned and that tires be in good condition.

Possible Problems

Wheelchair pulls to one side
• Check tire pressure
• Check to make sure wheel turns easily (bearings, axle)
• Check angles of casters
• Check to make sure both casters are making proper contact with
the ground
Casters begin to wobble (9.2)
• Check angle of casters
• Check to make sure all bolts are secure; tighten if necessary
(See the page on torque)
• Check to make sure both casters are making proper contact with
the ground
Wheelchair squeaks and rattles
• Check to make sure bolts are secure; tighten if necessary (see
the page on torque).
• Apply small amount of lubrication to spots where movable parts
come in contact with one another
Wheelchair begins to wobble
• Check angle at which casters are set
• Check tire pressure
• Check to see if rear wheels are adjusted differently
Maintenance and Care
Maintenance (9.9)
• Check the tire pressure every 4 weeks. Check all of the tires for
wear or damage.
• Check the brakes approximately every 4 weeks to make sure
that they are working properly and easy to use.
• Change tires as you would an ordinary bicycle tire.
• All of the joints that are critical to safe using your wheelchair
safely are self-locking nuts. Please check every three months to
make sure that all bolts are secure (See the page on torque).
Safety nuts should only be used once and should be replaced
after multiple uses.
• Please use only mild household cleansers when your wheelchair
is dirty. Use only soap and water when cleaning the seat uphol-
stery.
• If your wheelchair should ever get wet, please dry it after use.
• 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 authorized dealer every 6 months to have it
inspected by trained personnel.
CAUTION:
Sand and sea water (or salt in the winter) can damage the bea-
rings of the front and rear wheels. Clean the wheelchair
thoroughly after exposure.
