Repairs / Service / Changing tires

Your mobility base for seating shells has been provided with the CE sign. Should problems with it arise, please
contact your rehabilitation technology supplier.
To clean your mobility base, use a mild detergent. Some components of your mobility base need to be serviced from
time to time to ensure smooth operation. Hair or dirt particles may accumulate between the caster wheel and fork
making it difficult for the caster wheels to rotate.
• Remove the caster wheel and thoroughly clean the fork and caster wheels using a mild detergent.
The rear wheels and caster wheels can be designed as a quick-release axle system.
• To keep this system operational, be sure no dirt adheres to the quick-release axle or axle housing. Lightly lubricate
the quick-release axle regularly with resin-free sewing machine oil.
• Please make sure that no oil gets on the brake linings or on the brake drum.
• When you are using casters with quick release axle, check the fit of the nut from time to time.
• If your mobility base with seating shell gets wet, towel dry it as soon as possible.
• Do not use your mobility base with seating shell in salt water, and keep sand or other particles from damaging the
wheel bearings.
• Check the tightness of all screw connections regularly. If a screw connection comes loose often, consult your
rehabilitation technology supplier.
• To maintain the operating performance of your mobility base, the spokes of the rear wheels should be checked
and re-tightened approx. once a year. This adjustment should be made by your supplier. We recommend that you
always carry an air pump and tire repair kit for emergencies. As an alternative, consider keeping a spray can of
hardening foam (available at local bicycle shops) to fill your tire in case of punctures.
• If a tire becomes flat, use the appropriate tools to carefully remove the tire from the rim.
• Be sure not to damage the rim and the tube.
• Repair the tube according to the directions in the repair kit, or replace the old tube with a new one.
• Before re-mounting the tire, inspect the inner rim surface and the inside of the tire for any object that may have
caused the flat.
• Be sure the rim bands are not damaged. They protect the tube from being damaged by the ends of the spokes.
• To keep the brakes operational, please use only original rear wheels.
Mounting (Fig. 41)
Place the protective rim band over the valve and then push the valve through the rim. Screw on the valve nut if there
is one. The rim band can now be easily applied.
• Be sure all spoke ends are covered.
• Start pressing the underside of the tire over the edge of the rim behind the valve. Pump the tube with a small amount
of air until it is round; then insert it in the tire.
• Check the tube for folds. If folds are present, release some air. You can now mount the rest of the tire starting with
the section of tire opposite the valve by gently pressing the tire toward the valve.
Inflating (Fig. 42)
Check around the tire on both sides to see whether the tube is clamped between the edge of the tire and the rim. Push
the valve back slightly and pull it out again so that the tire is well-seated in the valve area. Fill the tire with enough air
so that it can be pressed in easily with your thumb. Be sure the tire is centered on the rim before continuing. If not,
let some air out and realign the tire. Inflate the tire to the pressure indicated in the table on page 26, and tighten the
dust cap.
