2.6 Tyre p r e s s ur e
In order to guarantee consistent, precise running and braking, it is
necessary to ensure that the tyres are correctly inflated.
Remove the plastic valve cover on the valve that is found on
the rim of the rear wheel (see fig.12)
Use a compressor to bring the pressure to the correct level
(see table 1)
Screw up the plastic valve cover.
Check the tyre pressures weekly using "table 1" as a
guide.
Incorrect inflation of the tyres (especially if too low)
causes incorrect functioning of the brakes and the
wheelchair may not stop (see chapter 6.9 "Brake
adjustment").
A correct tyre pressure makes the wheelchair much
more fluent and easier to move and control
To inflate the tyres always use a compressor with a
gauge.
Do not use hand pumps or other systems.
Do not exceed the pressure indicated in the pressure
table as the inner tube or the tyre may get damaged.
Pay particular attention to type of tyre fitted, as
Fig. 12
shown in "table 1".
