Possible Problems
Tyres and Mounting
Tyres and Mounting
Always make sure you that you maintain the correct tyre pressure,
as this can have an effect on wheelchair performance. If the tyre
pressure is too low, rolling resistance will increase, requiring more
effort to move the chair forward. Low tyre pressure also has a
negative impact on maneuverability. If the tyre pressure is too high,
the tyre could burst.
The correct pressure for a given tyre is printed on the surface of
the tyre itself.
Tyres can be mounted the same way as an ordinary bicycle tyre.
Before installing a new inner tube, you should always make sure
that the base of the rim and the interior of the tyre are free of for-
eign objects. Check the pressure after mounting or repairing a tyre.
It is critical to your safety and to the wheelchair’s performance that
regulation air pressure be maintained and that tyres be in good
condition.
Wheelchair pulls to one side
• Check tyre pressure
• Check to make sure wheel turns easily
(bearings, axle)
• Check to make sure both castors are making
proper contact with the ground
Castors begin to wobble
• Check to make sure all bolts are secure; tighten if necessary (see
the page on torque)
• Check to make sure both castors are making proper contact
with the ground
Wheelchair / Cross-tube assembly does not snap into position
in the seat saddle
• Chair is still new, i.e., the seat or backrest upholstery is still very
stiff. This will improve with continued use.
Wheelchair is difficult to fold up
• Screws of the cross-tube brackets are too tight.
Wheelchair squeaks and rattles
• Check to make sure bolts are secure; tighten if necessary (see
the page on torque)
• Apply small amount of lubrication to spots where movable parts
come in contact with one another
Wheelchair begins to wobble
• Check tyre pressure.
• Check to see if rear wheels are adjusted differently.
Maintenance and Care
Maintenance
• Check the tyre pressure every 4 weeks. Check all of the tyres for
wear or damage.
• Check the brakes approximately every 4 weeks to make sure
that they are working properly and easy to use.
• Change tyres as you would an ordinary bicycle tyre.
• All of the joints that are critical to using your wheelchair safely
are self-locking nuts. Check every three months to make sure
that all bolts are secure (See the page on torque). Self locking
nuts should only be used once and should be replaced after
single use.
• Use only mild household cleansers when your wheelchair is dirty.
Use only soap and water when cleaning the seat upholstery.
• If your wheelchair should ever get wet, please dry it after use.
• A small amount of sewing-machine oil should be applied to
quick-release axles approximately every 8 weeks. Depending on
the frequency and type of use, we recommend taking your
wheelchair to your authorised dealer every 6 months to have it
inspected by trained personnel.
CAUTION:
Sand and sea water (or salt in the winter) can damage the bea-
rings of the front and rear wheels. Clean the wheelchair
thoroughly after exposure to these conditions.
