The Excel Roadster DX8 Deluxe is fitted with anti-tip wheels. The anti-tip wheels are attached to the
back of the scooter. The wheels will roll and move when riding over obstacles and provide additional
safety.
6.9.1 Anti-tip Wheels
Your Excel Roadster DX8 Deluxe scooter needs periodical maintenance. This is necessary for long and
optimum comfort for the user of the scooter. A badly maintained scooter will give you more technical
problems, make it harder to steer and it won’t be covered by the warranty. Preventative maintenance
is very important. We advise your scooter is checked by a qualified Van Os Medical dealer at least once
a year. This dealer will replace where necessary only Excel parts. These annual inspections will make
sure your scooter will function correctly for years.
There are a lot of things you can do yourself to keep your scooter in optimum condition. If you
regularly check the scooter and perform (small) maintenance tasks, this will extend the lifetime of your
scooter and increase the ease of use. In the following paragraphs these steps maintenance are further
described.
7. Maintenance
You need to check the tyres of the scooter regularly, because the tyres will wear out. If the wear is at
an advanced stage, then you should replace the tyres.
7.1 Tyres
Air tyres should be checked weekly for correct tyre pressure. You will find the recommended tyre
pressure on the rear wheels and, you can check it with a standard car or bicycle tyre pressure gauge.
If the tyres of the scooter do not have the correct pressure it will lean to the side where the lower
pressure is. It will also affect the ride and it will mean you have to exert more effort to move the
scooter. We recommend a tyre pressure of 30-35 psi.
Clean the tyres with car shampoo and a moist cloth. Do not use solvents on the tyres. These can
damage or soften the tyres material.
