Hazards due to defective tyres
CAUTION
Defective tyres
Accidents/falling due to poor traction, reduced braking
force or lack of manoeuvrability
► Maintain sufficient tyre pressure. The correct tyre pres
sure is printed on the casing.
► Ensure that the drive wheels have the same pressure.
► Ensure that the tyres have sufficient tread depth. The
tyres must be changed when the tread depth is less
than 1 mm.
► Avoid parking outside and in direct sunlight (UV radi
ation) since this causes the tyres to age quickly. The
manufacturer recommends replacing the tyres every
2 years regardless of the amount of wear.
► Always maintain sufficient clearance from sources of
heat. If the product is parked for an extended period of
time or the tyres overheat (e.g., in the vicinity of radiat
ors or in case of exposure to strong sunlight behind
glass), the tyres may become permanently deformed.
► Move your power wheelchair frequently or have a way
to jack it up for storage.
