CHAPTER 1: WARNINGS
J. PNEUMATIC TIRES
I WARNING
Pneumatic rear tires are standard components on TiLite wheelchairs. Pneumatic front tires are optional equipment on some
TiLite wheelchairs.
With pneumatic tires, it is important to maintain the proper inflation. Maintaining the proper inflation will extend the life of
your tires and will reduce the rolling resistance of your chair, making it easier to use.
1. Check your tires WEEKLY for proper inflation. The correct inflation level is imprinted on the tire sidewall.
2. DO NOT use your chair if any of the pneumatic tires are under-inflated or over-inflated.
3. If any tire is under-inflated, the chair may tend to veer to one side, which could cause you to lose control of the chair.
4. If a rear tire is under-inflated, the wheel lock for that wheel may not work properly and may slip, thereby allowing the
wheel to turn unexpectedly.
5. An over-inflated tire may burst, thereby causing a loss of control of the chair.
6. ALWAYS have pneumatic tire inner tubes replaced by an authorized TiLite dealer.
If you ignore these Warnings, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others
or damage the wheelchair.
K. REAR WHEEL LOCKS
I WARNING
Standard rear wheel locks are available on all TiLite wheelchairs as a no-charge option. Scissor locks and uni-locks are
optional equipment. TiLite wheel locks are NOT designed to slow or stop a moving wheelchair - they are NOT brakes.
Wheel locks are ONLY designed to keep the rear wheels from rolling when your chair is at a complete stop.
1. NEVER attempt to “brake” by using rear wheel locks to try to slow or stop your chair when it is moving. If you do so, you
will lose control of the chair and may fall.
2. ALWAYS make sure the locking arm of your wheel lock embeds into the tire at least 3/16” when in the locked position. If
the wheel lock does not properly embed in the tire, the wheel lock may not work and the chair may roll unexpectedly.
3. ALWAYS maintain proper tire pressure. If a rear tire is under-inflated, the wheel lock for that wheel may not work
properly and may slip, thereby allowing the wheel to turn unexpectedly.
4. When you transfer to or from your chair, ALWAYS set both rear wheel locks to prevent the rear wheels from rolling.
If you ignore these Warnings, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others
or damage the wheelchair.
L. CASTER PIN LOCKS
I WARNING
Caster pin locks are an optional accessory for TiLite wheelchairs. Caster pin locks are not designed to slow or stop a
moving wheelchair - they do not prevent the casters from rotating on the axis of the axle. Caster pin locks are ONLY
designed to keep the casters from rotating on the axis of the stem bolt when your chair is at a complete stop. In other
words, properly engaged caster pin locks will not stop the chair from rolling, but will stop it from turning.
1. ALWAYS make sure the locking pin on your caster pin locks fully engages with the casters. If the caster pin lock does
not properly engage, the caster pin lock may not work properly and the casters may rotate causing the chair to turn
unexpectedly.
2. When you transfer to or from your chair, ALWAYS set both rear wheel locks and both caster pin locks to prevent the
rear wheels from rolling and casters from rotating.
If you ignore these Warnings, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others
or damage the wheelchair.
