TYRES AND TUBES
If your Jet 1 is equipped with pneumatic tyres, you should check the air pressure at least once per week. This will
prolong the life of your tyres as well as help ensure the perfect operation of your chair. If you should have a flat tyre,
you should replace the tube. Replacement tyres and tubes are readily available at the Pride provider shop where
you purchased your Jet 1.
WARNING! Make sure the tyre is completely deflated before attempting repair.
Follow these easy steps for a quick and safe repair:
1. Completely deflate the tyre if pneumatic.
2. Remove the cap in the center of the wheel that covers the drive wheel nut. See figure 29.
3. Use an 11/16-in. ratchet and socket to remove the drive wheel nut from the center hub of the wheel. See figures
29 and 30.
4. Pull the wheel off of the axle.
5. Separate the tyre and tube from the rim.
6. Remove the old tube and/or tyre and replace it with a new tube and/or tyre.
7. Slide the wheel back onto the shaft.
8. Install the drive wheel nut into the center hub and tighten.
9. Inflate the tyre to 30 – 35 psi.
