Wheel Replacement
If you have pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, replace the tube. If your chair is equipped with a solid tire
insert, then you must replace the whole wheel assembly. Replacement tires, tubes, and wheel assemblies are
readily available through your authorized Pride Provider.
WARNING! The wheels on your power chair should only be serviced or replaced by an authorized
Pride Provider or a qualified technician.
WARNING! Be sure that the power to the controller is turned off and the power chair is not in
freewheel mode before performing this procedure.
WARNING! When changing a tire, remove only the center lug nut and washer, 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. Make sure that the power chair is in drive mode.
See figure 7.
3. Raise and support the power base so that the
wheel is at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) off of the ground.
4. If you are changing a pneumatic tire, completely
deflate it before removing the wheel.
5. Remove the hub cap, if equipped.
6. Remove the drive wheel nut and washer from the
axle. See figure 23.
7. Remove the drive wheel from the axle. Make sure
that you keep the key.
8. Remove the acorn nuts that fasten the two rim
halves together.
9. 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.
10. Reassemble the two rim halves.
11. Slide the wheel back onto the axle. Make sure that
the key is in the axle slot.
WARNING! Ensure that the axle key is properly installed into the axle slot when mounting the
wheel. If not installed securely, the braking and drive systems are disengaged which may cause
personal injury or product damage.
12. Reinstall the drive wheel nut and washer onto the axle and tighten. See figure 23.
WARNING! Make sure both the nut and washer are reinstalled and tightened properly.
13. Reinstall the hub cap, if equipped.
14. Inflate the pneumatic tire to the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire.
15. Remove the power chair from the base support.
