Min: 3.5 psi Min: 3.5 psi
Max:8 psi Max:8 psi
Lower tire pressures provide more traction in mud, sand and snow. For use on firmer
surfaces, tire pressures may be increased up to a maximum of 8 psi depending upon the
weight of the user, their preferences and driving capability. The chart below may be of
some assistance when increasing tire pressures. It is not recommended that tire pressures
greater than 8 psi are used.
Note: for chairs that have a seat elevator fitted, a higher tire pressure will give greater stability
8.3.1 Tire Inflation
Tire pressures should be checked weekly. All pneumatic tires are fitted with automotive type
valves and can be inflated using most typical automotive hand and foot type pumps as well as
service station air outlets.
STOP! Under inflated tires may be dangerous and can leave the tires prone to
punctures. Failure to use the correct inflation pressure can result in reduced

The recommended tire pressure is also listed on the sidewall of the tire
