20.5.1 puncture repair
Since the wheelchair is rather heavy, it is recommended to let your authorized
supplier repair eventual tire punctures. First lift the wheelchair so that the
punctured tire is free from the ground. Both front and rear wheel tires can be
taken off by loosening the bolts which hold the wheels on to the wheelchair.
After taking the wheels of the wheelchair the rim can be split. The tire is then
available for repair. The inner tubes of the tires can be repaired according to
the description on the tire puncture repair kit that you use. If is however
recommended to renew the inner tube at all time when the tube has a
puncture.

range.
