Maintenance and repairs
5.6.2 Inflating tyres
Read all warnings contained in this section before filling the tyres.
Failure to do so may result in injury to the user and damage to the
wheelchair and other property and also void any guarantee
applicable to the wheelchair.
Figure 203. Filling valve on drive wheel.
Applies only if the wheelchair is fitted with pneumatic tyres.
At regular intervals, check that the wheelchair's tyres have the
prescribed pressure between 200–250 kPa (2–2.5 bar). Incorrect tyre
pressure can impair stability and manoeuvrability, while extremely
low tyre pressure can cause abnormal wear as well as shorter tyre life.
1. Unscrew and remove the plastic valve cap on the tyre air valve.
2. Connect the compressed air nozzle to the valve and adjust the
tyre pressure to the prescribed level.
3. Install the plastic valve cap.
