•
Protect the wheels against ground frost, e.g., by reliev
ing them completely through assembly blocks or
wooden boards.
•
Fill the wheels with slight overpressure and rotate them
at regular weekly intervals to prevent flat tyres from
extended standing.
Note regarding the tyres
•
If the power wheelchair is not moved for several days,
permanent colour changes may occur where the wheel
chair comes into contact with the surface it is standing
on. Therefore a suitable underlay should be used if the
product is parked for extended periods of time.
•
Tyres contain chemical substances that can react with
other chemical substances (such as cleaning agents,
acids, etc.).
•
Black tyres contain soot particles. They may leave black
marks where they come into contact with the ground.
Therefore the manufacturer recommends grey tyres if
the wheelchair is primarily used indoors.
•
Avoid unnecessary parking outdoors. Direct exposure to
sunlight/UV radiation causes the tyres to age more
quickly. As a result, the tread surface hardens and
corner pieces break out of the tread.
•
The tyres must be changed when the tread is less than
1
mm
to ensure safe driving behaviour.
•
The tyres should be replaced every
2 years
regardless
of wear and tear.
