Travel Wheels 

Travel wheels should be used wherever your
wheelchair would be too wide if the rear wheels
were used (e.g., in airplanes, buses, etc.). After the
rear wheels have been removed with the aid of the
quick-release axles, the transit wheels can imme-
diately 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, trans-
porting, or when tipping to pass over obstacles
(e.g., kerbs, steps, etc.).

Always make sure you that you maintain the correct
tyre pressure, as this can have an effect on
wheelchair performance. 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 ob-
jects. Check the pressure after mounting or re-
pairing a tyre. It is critical to your safety and to the
wheelchair’s performance that regulation air
pressure be maintained and that tyres be in good
condition.

ntenance

• Check the tyre pressure every 4 weeks. Check all

of the tyres for wear or damage. 

• Check the brakes approximately every 4 weeks to

make sure that they are working properly and
easy to use.

• Change tyres as you would an ordinary bicycle

tyre.

• All of the joints that are critical to using your

wheelchair safely are self-locking nuts. Check
every three months to make sure that all bolts are
secure (See the page on torque). Self locking nuts
should only be used once and should be replaced
after single use.

• Use only mild household cleansers when your

wheelchair is dirty. Use only soap and water when
cleaning the seat upholstery. 

• If your wheelchair should ever get wet, please dry

it after use.

• A small amount of sewing-machine oil should be

applied to quick-release axles approximately
every 8 weeks. Depending on the frequency and
type of use, we recommend taking your wheel-
chair to your authorized dealer every 6 months to
have it inspected by trained personnel.
