2.3.1 24" & 22" wheels
The 24" (610 mm) and 22" (550 mm) wheels are only spoked
wheels. They can be delivered with pneumatic or solid tyre.
A flat tyre (photo 21) must be removed in order to be
repaired.
Remove the rim assembly (tyre and inner tube), repair or
replace the inner tube, reinsert in the tyre and reposition the
assembly on the rim.
Comply with the inflation pressure specified on the sidewall of
the tyre.

Note : remember that in order to maintain the interchangea-
bility of the chair wheels equipped with quick-release axles,
the pressure in the two tyres should be the same.
!
Check and adjust the brakes to ensure they are still
correctly positioned and function as required.
21
!
Never exceed the pressure specified on the sidewalls of
the tyre, otherwise, the tyre may explode and cause injuries !

Pneumatic tyres wear out. In addition, the roughness of
the ground surface and driving have an impact on their longe-
vity.
Replace them regularly to avoid trouble caused by puncture.
Please consult with your Dealer.
