Check the parking brakes
1. Check that the parking brakes are positioned correctly.
The brake is set correctly if the brake shoe depresses the
tyre by a few millimeters when the brake is engaged.
2. If you find that the setting is not correct, have the
brakes correctly adjusted by a qualified technician.
IMPORTANT!
The parking brakes must be reset after replacing
the rear wheels or changing their position.
Checking after a heavy collision or blow
IMPORTANT!
The wheelchair can sustain visibly undetectable
damage as a result of a heavy collision or hard
blow.
– It is essential to have your wheelchair checked
by a qualified technician after a heavy collision
or hard blow.
Repairing or changing an inner tube
1. Remove the rear wheel and release any air from the
inner tube.
2. Lift one tyre wall away from the rim using a bicycle tyre
lever. Do not use sharp objects such as a screwdriver
which could damage the inner tube.
3. Pull the inner tube out of the tyre.
4. Repair the inner tube using a bicycle repair kit or, if
necessary, replace the tube.
5. Inflate the tube slightly until it becomes round.
6. Insert the valve into the valve hole on the rim and place
the tube inside the tyre (the tube should lie right round
the tyre with no creases).
7. Lift the tyre wall over the edge of the rim. Start close to
the valve and use a bicycle tyre lever. When doing this,
check all the way round to ensure that the inner tube is
not trapped between the tyre and the rim.
8. Inflate the tyre to the maximum operating pressure.
Check that no air is escaping from the tyre.
