All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
If you are not satisfied with the braking behaviour of your wheelchair, consult your specialist dealer
immediately; he will then adjust the brakes properly.
L
If water, oil, or other kinds of dirt have soiled the wheels of the wheelchair (whether pneumatic
or solid rubber), then the braking action of the parking brakes could be impaired. Check the
condition of the wheels every time before using the wheelchair.
L
If the brakes lose their effectiveness because of wear and tear and/or damage to the
tyres/inner tubes, kindly consult your specialist dealer, since special machines are required for
changing the "PU" tyres. The end-user is not able to change the "PU" tyres.
TYRES
The lightweight wheelchair is available in various wheel combinations. It is supplied with 24" driving
wheels and 8" steering wheels as standard. Kindly consult your specialist dealer for other wheel
combinations; he would gladly advise you about the best configuration for your individual
requirements.
L
Always make sure that the wheels are sufficiently inflated, since it could affect the driving
behaviour (see the chapter on "Technical details").
L
We do not accept any liability for wheels not supplied by the manufacturer.

TYRE CHANGING

If you want to change the tyres or inner tubes, you should note the following:
After letting all the air out of the tube, insert a tyre lever between the tyre and the rim for the purpose
of removing the tyre. Then slowly and gently push the tyre lever downwards. This will pull the tyre over
the edge of the rim. If you then move the lever along the rim, the tyre will jump out. Now carefully
remove the tyre from the rim and then remove the tube.
L
There must be no air in the tube before it can be removed.
L
If handled improperly, the rim might be damaged. Rather let an expert perform these activities.
Note the following before inserting the new inner tube:
Check the rim bed and the inside wall of the tyre for foreign matter and clean these properly if
necessary. Check the condition of the rim bed, especially around the position of the air valve.
Please use only genuine original replacement parts. We do not accept any liability for damage caused
by non-genuine parts. Kindly contact your specialist dealer.
FITTING:
Place the rim belt in position over the air valve before
inserting it into the rim. Then the rim belt can be pulled
over easily. Check that all spoke heads are covered
(a rim belt is not required in the case of a plastic rim).
