Replacing Pneumatic Tires
WARNING
DO NOT use your wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (p.s.i.). DO
NOT overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these suggestions may cause the tire to
explode and cause bodily harm.
If tires are pneumatic, replacement of tire or tube MUST be performed by a
qualified technician.
NOTE: Under-inflation of the pneumatic drive wheels causes excessive wear which results in poor
performance of the tires.
