Tire pressure
In order to prevent tyre damage and to preserve the performance of the wheelchair, the tyre
pressure must be checked at least on a monthly basis. The recommended tyre pressure is
written on the tyres. Tyres at the right pressure means: lighter cycling, less wear and faster
and better braking. In case this can not be read clearly because of tyre wear, please use
following pressures.

It is allowed to use the wheelchair in rain or direct sun. It however must be noticed,
that metal or plastic surfaces of the wheelchair can become very hot when exposed

Because of the harmful combination of salt water and sand it is advised not to use
the wheelchair on beaches. We advise to clean the wheelchair after having been in
contact with sand and/or salt water as described in the paragraph “cleaning”.
When the Duet is parked outside, the wheelchair seat must be protected from
weather influences such as rain by using a cover.
Never drive the Duet with too low tire pressure as this will damage the tire (dangerous
situations), will cause high rolling resistance and will cause higher wear.
