Wheels

For the proper functioning of the wheelchair it is very important that the tires are at the
right tension.
Soft tires yield less optimal driving for the wheelchair. It also costs more energy to
move the wheelchair forward. Moreover, tire wear when driving on soft tires is
unnecessarily great.
For the right tire tension, see 'Product specifications'.
Note when filling the tires that the pressure never exceeds the
maximum specified value provided in the table 'product
specification', or as indicated on the side of the tire.
In case of doubt contact the dealer / supplier.
For inspection of the tires, see 'maintenance table'.
