E. PNEUMATIC TIRES

1. Do not use this chair if any of the tires are

under- or over-inflated.

2. Low pressure in a tire may cause the chair to

veer to one side and result in loss of control.

3. An over-inflated tire may burst.
4. Never use a gas station pump to inflate a tire.

Such pumps provide air at high volume, and
may cause tire to burst.

1. Check for signs of wear and correct air pressure

in pneumatic tires weekly. 

2. For best performance, inflate tires to the same

pressure level, as shown on the tire sidewall: 
•8" & 9" (200 & 250mm) pneumatic casters– 

30 to 40 psi (207 to 275 kpa)

•12" (310 mm) pneumatic drive wheels– 

35 to 45 psi (240 to 310 kpa)

3.

CAUTION–

To prevent tire damage: 

•Use a hand pump (or a low volume air pump) 

to inflate tires.

•Use a tire gauge to check pressure.

F. TO REPAIR OR REPLACE A TIRE

Residual air pressure in tires can cause severe
injury. Make sure you release all air in tire
before attempting to service or repair tires.

1. 8" & 9" (200 & 250mm) Caster Wheels: 

a. Release all air from tire. 
b. Remove caster wheel from fork using a 1/2" wrench. 
c. Make sure there is no residual air in tire before

you remove bolts that hold the two rim halves
together. 

d. Remove four bolts from rim using a #3 phillips

screwdriver. Separate two halves of rim. 

e. Repair or replace inner tube. 
f. Reassemble the caster wheel; make sure the

bearing spacer is in place and all four bolts are
tightened to a torque of 60 in.-lbs. (6.8 N.m). 

g. Mount caster wheel onto fork. Install washers

correctly tighten bolt to 240 in.-lbs. (27 N.m). 

h. Inflate tire to proper pressure level. 

A

D. BATTERY MAINTENANCE

1. To prevent an acid spill, always keep batteries upright (wet cell batteries).
2. Never smoke or hold an open flame near batteries.
3. Always wear rubber gloves and safety glasses when you handle batteries.

1. Maintenance Schedule: 

This varies for different types of batteries. Always follow the instructions supplied with
your batteries. 

NOTE–

Always wear rubber gloves and safety glasses when you handle or service batteries.

2. Adding Water: (Wet Cells Only)

• Wet-type lead acid batteries need periodic replacement of water due to evaporation. 

NOTE– 

Use distilled water only. 

• Check the battery fluid level about once a week. When you remove the stoppers

(on top of the battery) there should be one-eighth to one-quarter of an inch of
fluid above the internal plates. Do not overfill. 

3. Corrosion: 

Check battery terminals often for corrosion. 

a. If corrosion is present, use a wire brush to clean the terminals. 

NOTE–

Always wear safety glasses and rubber gloves. 

b. Use baking soda to neutralize acid. 
c. Use petroleum jelly to re-grease the terminals after connecting cable to battery.

(Completely cover the terminal nut and bolt, cable clip and any exposed cable
with jelly). 

4. For Answers To Questions: Contact your supplier.
