8.0 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

8.2 Wheels and tires maintenance

To ensure that your wheelchair functions properly, it is essential that the tires
are kept at the correct pressure. The correct tire pressure is
indicated on the side of the tire.
Tires that are too soft will have a negative eff ect on the wheelchair's perfor-
mance. Moving the wheelchair will require more energy, making
more demands on the batteries. Furthermore, wear on under infl ated tires is
increased.
When inspecting the tires for signs of wear, look for signifi cant scuff marks,
cuts and a diminished tire tread. Tires will need to be changed
when the tread cannot be seen over the complete surface of the tire (Fig. 8.1).
