Drive Wheel; Drive Wheel Disassembled - Quantum Q6 EDGE 2.0 Owner's Manual

WARNING!
Follow all safety instructions for the proper use of the
disinfectant and/or cleaning agent before applying it
to your product. Failure to comply may result in skin
irritation or premature deterioration of upholstery and/
or power chair finishes.
Never hose off your power chair or place it in direct
contact with water. Your power chair has a painted, ABS
plastic body shroud that allows it to be easily wiped
clean with a damp cloth.
Never use any chemicals to clean a vinyl seat, as they
may cause the seat to become slippery or dry out and
crack. Use soapy water and dry the seat thoroughly.
Wheel Replacement
If you have pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, you can
replace the tube. If your chair is equipped with a solid tire
insert, then you must replace the entire wheel assembly.
Replacement tires, tubes, and wheel assemblies are readily
available through your Quantum Rehab Provider.
WARNING!
The wheels on your power chair should only be serviced
or replaced by a Quantum Rehab Provider or a qualified
technician.
Be sure that the controller's power is turned off and the
power chair is not in freewheel mode before performing
this procedure.
When changing a tire, remove only the five lug nuts,
then remove the wheel. If any further disassembly is
required, deflate the tire completely or it may explode.
Follow these easy steps for a quick and safe repair for
both pneumatic and solid tires:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Set the power chair up on blocks.
3. If you are changing a pneumatic tire, completely deflate
it before removing the wheel.
4. Remove the five (5) lug nuts from the wheel hub. See
figure 21.
5. Pull the wheel off of the hub.
6. Remove the screws and separate the front and rear rim.
See figure 22.
7. Remove the old tube from the pneumatic tire and replace
it with a new tube or replace the entire assembly if it is
a solid tire.
8. Screw together the two rim halves.
9. Slide the wheel back onto the hub.
10. Reinstall the five (5) lug nuts onto the wheel hub and
tighten.
11. Inflate the pneumatic tire to the psi/bar/kPa air pressure
rating indicated on each tire.
12. Remove the power chair from the blocks.
