Recommended pressure
The chair is supplied as standard with solid wheels.
Find the indication of the size on the driving wheel or castor wheel, and then read
off the recommended
maximum pressure in the table. Note that a high pressure
makes the chair easier to roll, whereas a low pressure gives a smoother ride.
For optimal rolling characteristics, the pressure should be checked regularly.

Inspection after six months, thereafter each year
• Check that the brakes function correctly. Adjust if necessary.
• Check that the tyres are in good condition and that there has been no damage
to the sidewalls.
• Ensure that the chair is clean and that all moving parts function correctly.
• Check for any slack in the front castor wheel forks, and adjust if necessary (i.e. the
axle should run freely around its axis, but there should be no slack up or down).
• Check and if necessary adjust all screwed connections.
Repairs
Apart from small repairs to paintwork, the replacement of tyres and inner tubes,
and the adjustment of the brakes, all repairs must be undertaken by qualified
personnel at the supplier in your municipality or at the technical aids centre.
For information about repairs or servicing, contact the technical aids centre in
your county.
