Air pressure

Check at regular intervals that the wheelchair's tires have the correct tire pres-
sure. The incorrect tire pressure may result in lower stability and maneuverabil-
ity. Too low tire pressure also results in abnormal wear and shorter range.
Therefore, check regularly that the tire pressure is maintained at 250 kPa.
(2.5 bar). in the front tires and at 120-200 kPa. (1,2-2.0 bar). in the rear tires.
Pumping tires with air
1. Unscrew and remove the plastic cap on the valve on the tire.
2. Connect the compressed air nozzle to the valve and adjust the tire pressure
to the specified level.
