It is recommended to have your wheelchair serviced by your dealer at least once a year, or, in case of intensive
use, once every six months.

2.2.1
Rear wheels
To ensure proper operation of the wheelchair, it is very important that the tyres are kept at the correct pressure.
Soft tyres yield less than optimal driving for the wheelchair. It also costs more energy to move the wheelchair
forward. Moreover, tyre wear when driving on soft tyres is unnecessarily great.
For the right tyre tension, see ‘Product specifications'.
Note when filling the tyres that the pressure never exceeds the maximum specified value provided
in the table 'product specification', or as indicated on the side of the tyre. When in doubt, contact
your dealer / supplier.
For the inspection of the tyres, see the 'maintenance table'.
