8.1 Replacement of worn parts

With use, any wheelchair will require, in addition to the routine

maintenance indicated in chapter 8.0 Maintenance , further
unscheduled intervention due to the normal wear of
components. This maintenance is closely linked to the amount
and type of use the wheelchair receives (e.g. use over rough
terrain or in coastal areas with more airborne salt etc..)
Repairing a puncture
Remove the wheel (front or rear) and deflate fully by pressing the
valve (this procedure is not required for full anti-puncture wheels).
Remove the tyre using bicycle tyre levers. Remove the inner tube
and repair it using a standard puncture repair kit and the same
procedure used for repairing a normal bicycle inner tube.
If repair is not possible then the inner tube will need replacing.
Anti-puncture rear tyres can be replaced whenever
excessive or irregular wear is noticed which could
reduce the performance of the wheelchair.
For replacement of solid front tyres an entire new front
wheel will need to be purchased.
To re-fit an inner tube and tyre onto the wheel rim it is necessary to
partially inflate the inner tube. Next, insert the valve into the hole
on the rim and, using both hands and bicycle tyre levers, insert the
inner tube into the tyre and work the edge of the tyre over the
wheel rim. Do this all the way round the wheel, checking carefully
that the inner tube does not get pinched between the rim and the
tyre.
Inflate the tyre to the correct pressure (see chapter 2.6 Tyre
pressure )
