8.2 Wheels and tires maintenance

To ensure that your wheelchair functions properly, it is essential that the tires are kept at the correct pressure. The correct
tire pressure is indicated on the side of the tire.
Tires that are too soft will have a negative effect on the wheelchair's performance. Moving the wheelchair will require more
energy, making more demands on the batteries. Furthermore, wear on under inflated tires is increased.
When inspecting the tires for signs of wear, look for significant scuff marks, cuts and a diminished tire tread. Tires will need to
be changed when the tread cannot be seen over the complete surface of the tire.

• Before tires are repaired they must first be fully deflated!
