Repairs

Taking the rim apart

The rim can be taken apart to make it possible to Assemble/remove solid or pneumatic tires.

Remove the wheel in question from the wheelchair. See

Drive wheels

, Page 18.

If the tire is pneumatic, release the air.

WARNING!

Ensure that pneumatic tires are not pressurized before the rim is taken apart, otherwise there is a risk of personal
injury.

Remove the six screws holding the two halves of the rim together. See fig. 13.

Take the rim apart.

Assembly

Assemble in the reverse order. Tighten the six screws using a dynamometric wrench.

Tightening torque: 22 Nm.

WARNING!

The recommended tire pressure for pneumatic tires is 200 kPa (2 bar). Overfilling entails a risk of explosion.
Incorrect tire pressure may result in lower stability and manoeuvrability. Check regularly that the tires have the
correct pressure.
