Tire pressures should be checked weekly. All pneumatic tires are fitted with automotive type
valves and can be inflated using most typical automotive hand and foot type pumps as well
as service station air outlets.
STOP! Under inflated tires may be dangerous and can leave the tires prone
to punctures. Failure to use the correct inflation pressure can result in
reduced performance or cause an unsafe situation to occur
STOP! Over inflated tires may cause the tire to explode and cause bodily
harm. The recommended tire pressure is also listed on the sidewall of the tire
8.3.2 Tire Wear
Tire wear varies greatly depending on usage (from months to years), but no matter what sort
of time your tires last this is mostly governed by your typical daily requirements. To achieve
the most from your tires it is important to have them correctly inflated. Always use
manufacturer recommended parts. Replace tires when the tread pattern wears to less than
2mm in depth as tires will start to lose safe traction and can be more prone to puncture.

Upholstery
The power chair upholstery may be cleaned using mild soap and water. Avoid getting water
into any electric components. Never use any chemicals to clean a vinyl seat, as they may
cause the seat to become slippery, or dry out and crack. A general purpose upholstery
cleaner may be used on velour.
