Inflating the drive wheel tires

Only drive the wheelchair with the correct tire pressure. The tire pressure for
the drive wheel tires is 250 kPa (35 psi). Permobil recommends that you
check the tire pressure weekly and after any significant change in temperature
or altitude.
Incorrect tire pressure can make the wheelchair unstable and difficult to drive.
It can also result in abnormal wear, punctures, a shorter driving range, and
damage to the wheel assembly.
This is how you inflate the drive wheel tires.
1. Unscrew and remove the valve cap from the tire air valve.
2. Connect the compressed air nozzle to the valve and adjust the tire
pressure to the prescribed level.
3. Put the valve cap back.
