Taking the rim apart
The rim can be taken apart to make it possible to fit/remove solid or pneumatic tires.
1. Remove the wheel in question from the wheelchair. See the previous page.
2. If the tire is pneumatic, release the air.
m WARNINg!
Ensure that pneumatic tires are not pressurized before the rim is taken apart, otherwise there is a risk of personal injury.
3. Remove the six screws holding the two halves of the rim together (see illustration).
4. Take the rim apart.
Assembly
Assemble in the reverse order.
1. Fit the two rim halves (1&4) together with tire (3) and if pneumatic tire is used, it's inner tube (2).
Tighten the six screws using a torque wrench.
Tightening torque: 22Nm
2. On wheels with pneumatic tires, fill the tire to recommended tire pressure, 200 kPa (2 bar).
3. Fit the wheel on to the wheelchair. See previous page.
m WARNINg!
The recommended tire pressure for pneumatic tires is 200 kPa (2 bar). Overfilling entails a risk of explosion.
Incorrect tire pressure may result in lower stability and maneuverability. Check regularly that the tires have the correct pressure.
