Crutch holder
Crutch holder
This device permits crutches to be transported directly on the
wheelchair. It has a Velcro loop to fasten crutches or other aids,
(5.25).
DANGER!
Never try to use or even remove the crutches or other aids while
moving.
Tyres and Mounting
Solid rubber tyres are standard, (5.26).
CAUTION!
If fitting pneumatic tyres:
With pneumatic tyres always make sure that the tyres have the
correct air pressure, as otherwise the performance of the wheelchair
may be affected. 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 manoeuvrability. 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 are mounted in 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 foreign
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.
