Replacement of wear parts
(Fig. 45 and 46)
Wear parts such as tyres, inner tubes and casters can be obtained from the Assistance
centre or ordered from Panthera against payment, and the work can be carried out at
home for those able to do so.

To replace these yourself, do as follows:
Replacing tyres and inner tubes:
(Fig. 45)
1) Order parts from Panthera in the correct dimension.
2) Remove the drive wheel by pressing the quick release button and pulling the wheel
straight off.
3) Remove the tyre and inner tube using suitable tools. The method is the same as that
used for changing the tyre and inner tube on a bicycle wheel.
4) Carefully fit the inner tube and tyre to ensure the inner tube is not punctured. Pump up
the tyre.
5) Reattach the wheel to the wheelchair, taking care to ensure the quick release button
springs out so the wheel is securely fastened to the hub. Pull the wheel outwards to
ensure it is firmly attached. Spin the wheel to ensure the tyre has been fitted correctly and
the wheel is completely circular.
Replacing casters:

1) Order parts from Panthera in the correct dimension.
2) Detach the caster using a 4 mm Allen key.
3) When attaching the new caster, hold down both bushings using your thumb and index
finger and then guide the caster into the fork track.
When reassembling castors after cleaning or servicing, always check that the bolt still
has thread lock (blue, red or green) on the thread, which indicates sufficient thread lock. If
thread locking is missing, a new bolt must be ordered or light thread lock must be applied.
4) Tighten fully using a 4 mm Allen key. Ensure that the caster turns easily.
