Transit Wheels
Transit Wheels (Fig. 6.52)
Transit wheels should be used wherever your wheelchair would
be too wide if the rear wheels were used. After the rear wheels
have been removed with the aid of the quick-release axles, the
transit wheels can immediately be used to continue riding. The
transit wheels are mounted so that they are approx. 3
centimeters above the ground when not in use. They are thus
out of the way when riding, transporting, or when tipping to pass
over obstacles.
CAUTION!
Without rear wheels, your wheelchair has no wheel locks.

7.0 Tyres and mounting
Solid rubber tyres are standard.
With pneumatic tyres always make sure that the tyres have the
correct air pressure, as otherwise the performance of the
wheelchair may be affected. 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
maneuverability. 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.
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 are in good condition.
