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 to be replaced
The rear wheel tyres should be replaced whenever
excessive or irregular wear is noticed since this results in
reducing the performance of the wheelchair.
When worn out or damaged, the solid front tyres has to
be replaced with a new one.
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").
