Procedure 3 - Tyres and Inner Tubes

Procedure 3 & 4

Tyres will wear just like a car tyre and the time will depend on the type of use.  It is recommended that both tyres are 

changed once the tread fades.  For pneumatic tyres, there is a risk that a puncture will occur and the inner tube will need 

to be replaced in order to keep the wheelchair operational. 

3.1: Changing the tyre

Remove the wheel from the wheelchair and release air 

in the tube by pressing the small pin inside the valve, if a 

Presta valve, then unscrew both the head and the securing 

ring at base and press the top until air releases.  Using 

2 x tyre levers (supplied in the toolkit), unhook the tyre 

completely from the wheel rim.  Remove inner tube and tyre 

from wheel rim.

To install the tyre, place one side of the new tyre on the 

wheel rim.  Then insert the inner tube inside the tyre and 

align the valve with the wheel rim hole.  Ensure there are 

no kinks or uneven tension in the inner tube before putting 

the second side of the tyre back on the wheel rim using the 

tyre levers. Be careful not to pinch the inner tube.  Once tyre 

and inner tube are on the wheel rim, replace securing ring 

(if applicable) then inflate tyre a little.  Adjust inner tube and 

tyre so that they fit nicely on the wheel rim and inflate to the 

recommended tyre pressure.

3.2: Changing the inner tube

Repeat the method above but do not remove tyre 

completely, just remove inner tube.  If problems continue, 

remove tyre and inner tube and ensure there are no sharp 

edges in the wheel rim which may be causing a puncture.

4.1: Adjusting Axle Tube position

To adjust the axle position, remove wheels. Using a 5mm 

allen key for the toolkit, release the top screw on each side of 

the axle clamp as shown in Fig 21 (A).  Once released but still 

intact, move the axle backward for more stability and move 

forward for more tip.  Tighten the top screws once position has 

been set, and carefully use the chair as it where the first time. 

4.2: Replacing Axle tube

To replace the axle tube, remove wheels.  Using a 5mm allen 

key from the toolkit, release the bottom screw completely from 

the axle clamp as shown in Fig 21 (B).  Take note of the distance 

between the axle clamp and the axle tube for set up of the 

new axle tube.  Slide new tube into the clamps and into the 

same position as the old axle tube.  The notch in the axle insert 

must be at the top of the axle tube.

If the wheelchair feels slow after replacing the axle tube, rotate 

the axle tube a little forwards or backwards to correct the 

wheel alignment.

WARNING:

The position of the footrest, camber bar, as well as 

the tautness of the back upholstery, are directly 

related to the chair’s stability.  

Any change to one or any combination of the 

three may cause the chair to decrease in stability. 

Use EXTREME caution when using a new seating 

position for the first time.

Fig 21.

B = Remove and replace

Procedure 4 - Camber Bar

The Camber Axle or Camber Tube control your wheel position and your centre of gravity.  It is very important to have this 

set up for your requirements for performance and safety.  Axle tube can be fixed or adjustable.  Fixed means this cannot 

be adjusted and for a user who is experienced and knows their balance point.  Adjustable position gives the user choice 

and is ideal for less experienced users
