NOTICE
Damage to the tyres. Replace the casing if it is bald or shows cracking or other damage. Always
change the tyres in pairs. Tyres with differently worn treads can negatively affect the driving charac-
teristics of the wheelchair.
For changing tyres, place the Skippi Plus on a level surface and support it to prevent it from
tilting or falling over.
The front wheels are puncture-proof ones and can only be changed as a whole. A puncture-
proof insert or the casing are not available as spare parts. For disassembling the front wheels
you need a size 6 Allen wrench.
Loosen the screw and remove the wheel. Inspect the axle to see if it can be reused.
Fig. 36 Changing the wheels
For mounting the new wheel, position the metal bushing between the wheel and caster fork and
insert the axle screw from the outside. Make sure that the lock nut on the other side of the fork
is in position. Hand tighten the screw.
Drive wheels
Two drive wheel versions are available for the Skippi Plus: with pneumatic tyres (standard equip-
ment) and with puncture-proof tyres. For working on the drive wheels, you need a size 6 Allen
wrench and tyre iron.
