8.1 Replacements of worn parts
With its use, any wheelchair will require, in addition to the routine
maintenance as indicated in chapter 8.0 "Maintenance", further
"unscheduled" intervention due to the normal wear and tear of
components. This maintenance is closely linked to amount and
type of use the wheelchair is subjected (e.g. use over rough
terrain, in coastal areas with more airborne salt etc..)

Repairing a puncture
Remove the wheel (front or rear) and fully deflate by pressing the
valve (this procedure is not required for solid tyre).
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").
Spare parts
For the replacement of parts due to wear and tear or breakage (or
simply for the purchase of accessories) all the necessary spare
parts to keep your wheelchair in perfect working order will remain
readily available.
All spare parts can be ordered through our authorized
dealers.
