Replacement of wear parts
(Fig. 25 och 26)
Wear parts such as tyres, inner tubes and Castors can be ordered from Panthera, with
the work carried out at home for those able to do so. Otherwise, contact your wheelchair
provider or Panthera.

To replace these yourself, do as follows:
Replacing tyres and inner tubes:
(Fig. 25)
1) Order parts from Panthera in the correct dimension.
2) Remove the rear 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 Castors
:
(Fig. 26)
1) Order parts from Panthera in the correct dimension.
2) Detach the Castor using a 4 mm Allen key. Observe how the Castors’ bushings are
mounted – there is a right (1) and a left (2) version.
3) When attaching the new Castor, hold down both bushings using your thumb and index
finger and then guide the Castor into the fork track.
At reassembly of castor wheel after cleaning or service you should always check the bolt
for thread locking (blue, red or green colour), which indicates sufficient thread locking.
If the tread locking is missing, always order a new bolt or apply a small amount of weak
thread locking.
4) Tighten fully using a 4 mm Allen key. Ensure that the Castor turns easily
