Tyre changing 

Risk of injury and/or damage  

  Check that the profile depth of the tyres is adequate.  

  There must be no air in the tube before the tyre can be removed. 

  If handled improperly, the rim might become damaged.  

  Make sure to inflate the tires to the correct pressure (see indication on the tyres). 

  Make sure that no objects, body parts or inner tubes are pinched between the tyre and the rim 

when mounting a tyre. 

  Make sure all screws are firmly secured by hand before driving with your electric wheelchair. 

Screw adhesive (ex. Loctite) should be applied to the screws on the flange. Screw adhesive 
will only work if the thread is free of grease and particles. 

 

Only use inflating equipment which complies to regulations and indicates the pressure in bar. We 
do not accept any liability for damage caused by using wrong inflation equipment or wheels. 
 

Steering wheels (front wheels) 

DISMANTLING 

A. 

Loosen the screw on the steering wheel axle and remove 
it from the steering wheel fork. 

B. 

Let the air out of the steering wheel by lightly pressing 
the pressure pin on the valve. 

C. 

Loosen the 5 screws that hold the split rim together. 

Now separate the rim sides. 

 

ASSEMBLY 

Insert the partly-filled inner tube into the tyre. 

C. 

Connect the two sides of the rim through the tyres and 
use the 5 connecting screws to screw the rim together. 

B. 

Make sure that the valve juts out of the valve opening in 
the rim. 

A. 

Put the wheel back into the front wheel fork and inflate 
the wheel.
