6.8 Wheels
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to worn or defective tyres.
Replace wheels with PU tyres if the material is crack-
ing or damaged, or when the tread becomes worn down to such an extent that there is only
5 mm
of
radius left on the outer edges of the tyre.
Replace the casing of pneumatic tyres if it is bald or shows signs of cracking or other damage.
The C1000 DS power wheelchair is propelled by two 14” drive wheels and steered by means
of two 10” steering casters.
6.8.1 Inspecting the general condition
❒
Verify the tyre condition in regards to tread, porosity and cracking.
INfORMATION
Direct sunlight (UV light) causes the tyres to age prematurely. As a result, the tread surface hardens
and corner pieces break out of the tread.
INfORMATION
Avoid parking the wheelchair outdoors whenever possible. Regardless of wear and tear, the tyres
should be replaced every 2 years.
If the wheelchair is parked for an extended period of time or the tyres overheat (e.g. in the vicinity of
radiators or in case of exposure to strong sunlight behind glass), the tyres may become permanently
deformed. Therefore, sufficient clearance should always be maintained from sources of heat, and the
power wheelchair should be moved frequently or placed on blocks for storage.
6.8.2 Removing the drive wheel
NOTICE
Risk of damage due to uncontrolled movements.
When raising the power wheelchair, e.g. with a jack,
secure it against slipping and tipping sideways by using a suitable block under the drive unit sustainer.
Preparation:
❒
Switch off the control unit.
❒
Raise the power wheelchair so that the wheel being replaced can turn freely.
Tools:
❒
Jack
❒
Allen wrench, size 6
❒
