Tyre pressure
The pressure is shown on the tyre and must
never be exceeded. Remember that the tyre
pressure on both wheels should be the same
to ensure perfect steering.
In case of a puncture, the tyre has to be
removed from the rim. Press the valve to let all
the remaining air out of the inner tube. Pull the tyre off the rim.
Repair or replace the inner tube. Put the tyre back on the rim. Inflate
the tyre to the required pressure.
- NB: It may be necessary to use one or two tyre removal tools (not
supplied).
Handrims
- The handrims are used by the user to drive the wheelchair.
- NB: As the handrims are in contact with your hands, make sure that
they are not damaged and that the surface has no parts which might
cause injury to the hands.
- Adjustment: No adjustment is required for the handrims.
