Insert the valve into the valve hole on the rim and place
the tube inside the tyre (the tube should lie right round
the tyre with no creases).
Lift the tyre wall over the edge of the rim. Start close to
the valve and use a bicycle tyre lever. When doing this,
check all the way round to ensure that the inner tube is
not trapped between the tyre and the rim.
Inflate the tyre to the maximum operating pressure.
Check that no air is escaping from the tyre.

Cleaning
Your wheelchair will serve you well for many years if you clean
it regularly.
IMPORTANT!
Sand and seawater can damage the bearings and
steel parts can rust if the surface is damaged.
- Only expose the wheelchair to sand and seawater
for short periods and clean it after every trip to the
beach.
Clean the cushions and metal parts with a soft, damp
cloth.
Dry the wheelchair carefully with a cloth after using it in
the rain or in the shower.
If the wheelchair is dirty, wipe off the dirt as soon as
possible with a damp cloth and dry it carefully.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use coarse abrasives, aggressive cleaning
products or high-pressure cleaners.

Disinfection
The wheelchair may be disinfected by spraying or wiping with
tested, approved disinfectants.
