Tyres and Mounting
TYRES AND MOUNTING
If pneumatic tyres are used, make sure 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 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 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
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.
CAUTION!
As the user, you are the first person to notice any possible
defects. We therefore recommend that before each use,
you check the items in the following list:
• Check for correct tyre pressures
• Check that the brakes work correctly
• Check that all removable parts are secure, e.g.
armrest, footrest, quick-release axle etc.
• Check for visible damage e.g. on the frame, backrest,
seat sling and back sling, wheels, footplate etc
If there is any damage or malfunction, please contact your
authorised dealer.
Wheelchair pulls to one side
• Check tyre pressure (pneumatic tyres only).
• Check to make sure wheel turns easily (bearings, axle).
• Check the castors are set consistently and make proper contact
with the ground.
• Ensure castor fork bearings rotate freely.
Castors begin to wobble
• Check to make sure all bolts are secure; tighten if necessary (see
the section on torque).
• Check to make sure both castors are making proper contact with
the ground.
Wheelchair squeaks and rattles
• Check to make sure all bolts are secure; tighten if necessary (see
the section on torque).
• Apply small amount of lubrication to spots where movable parts
come in contact with one another.
Wheelchair begins to wobble
• Check angle at which castors are set.
• Check all tyres for damage or wear.
• Check to see if rear wheels are adjusted or fixed unevenly.
Daily Checks
MAINTENANCE
• Check the tyre pressure every 4 weeks. Check all tyres for wear
and damage.
• Check the brakes approximately every 4 weeks to make sure that
they are working properly
and are 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. Please
check every three months to make sure that all bolts are secure
(see the section on torque).
Safety nuts should only be used once and should be replaced after
use.
Please use only mild household cleansers when your wheelchair is
dirty. Use only soap and water when cleaning the seat upholstery
and lap belt.
• If your wheelchair should ever get wet, please dry it after use, to
avoid rust and salt corrosion.
• 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 bearings
of the front and rear wheels. Clean the wheelchair thoroughly after
exposure.
The following parts can be removed and sent to the manufacturer /
dealer for repair:
Rear wheels, Armrest, Hanger, Anti – tips. These components are
available as spares. More details can be found in the parts manual.
HYGIENE WHEN BEING REUSED:
When the chair is to be reused, it should be prepared carefully, and
wiped and treated with spray disinfectant on all surfaces which
could come into contact with the user.
In doing this, you must use a liquid for alcoholic quick disinfection
for medical products and medical inventory when you require a
quick effect. Please pay attention to the manufacturer’s instructions
of the disinfectant you are using.
In general, a safe disinfectant cannot be guaranteed on seams. We
therefore recommend, that you properly dispose of seat and back
slings in the case of micro bacterial contamination with active
agents according to § 6 infection protection law.
STORAGE
Please store/keep the wheelchair in a dry place.
