Various Adjustment and Inspections
Other Adjustments and Inspections
Tire Inspection:
1) Check for cracks, damage, foreign material on the tires, depth of tread lines in tires and tire wear, etc.
2) When tire(s) is functioning abnormally send it back to your dealer for inspection and repair/maintenance.
3) Check tire pressure to make sure it is normal.
Tire size
Air pressure
Confirm if the air pressure is sufficient
– also is the air pressure the same as that of the recommended
imprints on the tire. (example above)
Fill the tire with air by following the recommended air pressure on the tire.
ATTENTION
Do not use leaking tires.
When there is a decrease in tire pressure, there is a risk of having a ruptured tire.
If tire pressure is too low, there is a risk that the tire will separate from the rim.
If the tire pressure is too high due to increased air pressure or heat, then there is a risk of the
tire rupturing.
Adjust both tires to the same air pressure.
Checking Around the Wheelchair:

– adjustment, cleaning,
