Replacement of front tire inner tube
NOTE
Applies only if your wheelchair is equipped with air-filled front tires.
1.
Put the wheelchair up on blocks so that the wheel is free and then let the
air out of it.
2.
Part out the rim by unscrewing the five socket head cap screws that are
holding the rim together.
3.
Replace the broken inner tube.
4.
Assemble the rim back together again with the tire, check that the inner-
tube is not caught anywhere between the parts of the rim, and fill with air.
The recommended air pressure for front/rear tires is 36 psi (250 kPa). Overfilling causes a risk of
explosion. Incorrect tire pressure can involve a deterioration of stability and manueverability, so
check regularly that the tire contains the prescribed air pressure.
