should be replaced.
If changing the wheel, ensure that the motor's axle thread has been cleaned before it is tightened with
the wheel screw. If the nut is being replaced, a new, self-locking, orginal nut should be used.

When inflating the tyres, always check that the pressure is correct. The correct pressure is
given on the tyre walls (also refer to "Technical details").

Use only inflating equipment which complies with regulations and indicates the pressure in

inflation equipment not supplied by the manufacturer.

When pushed, the
equipment is switched off, and the
wheelchair can only be pushed on

exposed to considerable danger
when the wheelchair is pushed
along on a gradient. This must be
avoided.
