Tyre Pressures
Tyre pressures can be found on the sidewall of the tyre but where there is a range, our recommendations are as
below.
Mountain Bike/Smooth Tyres - 50 psi
Whitewall/Blackwall Beach Tyres - 36-40psi
Footrest
In the event of tightness of the sliding footrest or cross shaft threads an amount of
Nylon
or
WD40
type
lubricant
may be applied to the threads and into the slots in the tubes immediately under the monocoque seat.
Rear Castor
The rear wheel castor fork has an M16 grub screw that is used to vary the detent pressure on the rear wheel,
which
varies how much effort is required to turn the rear castor. This typically doesn’t need
adjustment, but it
may warrant tightening or loosening slightly if the user is particularly heavy or light respectively.
To re-grease, undo the grub screw completely, fill the cavity with general purpose automotive grease and refit
the screw, whilst periodically rotating the castor. Repeat until grease is seen appearing from the top bearing.
Wipe clean. Re-greasing is only normally required at service as stated below.
Servicing
Dependant on the frequency and type of use, we recommend taking your wheelchair to an authorised dealer
for service at a minimum of every 6-12 months.
Beach Use
Sand and sea water air can easily damage the moving parts of your wheelchair. Clean the wheelchair thoroughly
after exposure, if you ever use your chair on sand or in abrasive environments.
