Repairing a flat tyre

CAUTION! Danger of the wheelchair tipping over or rolling away!
• Secure the wheelchair from tipping over by propping it up with a wooden block under the
battery box that is long and wide enough! Using a wooden block that is too short or too high
could cause the wheelchair to tip over!
• Switch the wheelchair off at the remote!
CAUTION! Injury hazard! If the wheel has been insufficiently tightened during assembly, it
can become loosened during driving!
• When reassembling the drive wheels, tighten the Allen screws at a torque of 30 Nm!
• Secure all screws using a suitable blocker (e.g. Loctite 243)!
Requirements:
•
Open-ended spanner 5 mm.
•
Repair kit for tyre repair or a new inner tube.
•
Talcum powder
•
Screw blocker Loctite (e.g. Loctite 243)
Note
Pay attention to small pieces, and the order in which the components are disassembled. Arrange
them in an orderly fashion so they can easily be assembled again in the right order.
•
Prop up the wheelchair by lifting it up on the
side that you want to work on and then
placing the wooden block underneath the
battery box on that side.
•
Unscrew the 4 bolts that hold the wheel (1), using the
5mm Allen key.
•
Remove the wheel from the hub.
