6.9.1 Anti-tip Wheels

The Excel Galaxy II is fitted with anti-tip wheels. The anti-tip wheels are attached to the back of the

scooter. The wheels will roll and move when riding over obstacles and provide additional safety.

Your Excel Galaxy II scooter needs periodical maintenance. This is necessary for long and optimum

comfort for the user of the scooter. A badly maintained scooter will create technical problems, make

it harder to steer and will not be covered by the warranty. Preventative maintenance is very important.

We advise your scooter is checked by a qualified Van Os Medical dealer at least once a year. This

dealer will replace where necessary only Excel parts. These annual inspections will make sure your

scooter will function correctly for years.

There are a lot of things you can do yourself to keep your scooter in optimum condition. If you

regularly check the scooter and perform (small) maintenance tasks, this will extend the lifetime of your

scooter and increase the ease of use. In the following paragraphs these steps maintenance are further

described.

You need to check the tyres of the scooter regularly, because the tyres will wear out. If the wear is at

an advanced stage, then you should replace the tyres.

Air tyres should be checked weekly for correct tyre pressure. You will find the recommended tyre

pressure on the rear wheels and, you can check it with a standard car or bicycle tyre pressure gauge.

If the tyres of the scooter do not have the correct pressure it will lean to the side where the lower

pressure is. It will also affect the ride and it will mean you have to exert more effort to move the

scooter. We recommend a tyre pressure of 30-35 psi.

Clean the tyres with car shampoo and a moist cloth. Do not use solvents on the tyres. These can

damage or soften the tyres material.
