MAINTENANCE Your Panthera is build to be nearly maintenance free. But a few parts you need to regularly check. Storage When storing your wheelchair for 4 months or more you should place it in a dry, warm place. After storage, check the tyre pressure and the condition of the uphol- stery. - Page 17 (Fig. 27 och 28) Wear parts as tyre and castor can be obtained from your local distributor or be ordered from Panthera AB for payment and the work can be done at home for those who have the oppertunity. www.panthera.se...
- Page 18 MAINTENANCE To change castor 1) Order parts in the right dimensions. 2) Disassemble the castor with allen key 4 mm. 3) When mounting the new castor you hold both bushings with your thumb and index finger and slide the castor into the slots on the fork. When reassembling castors after cleaning or servicing, always check that the bolt still has thread lock (blue, red or green) on the thread, which indicates suffi- cient thread lock.
