Note regarding the tyres
•
If the power wheelchair is not moved for several days, permanent colour changes may develop where it comes
into contact with the ground. A suitable base should therefore be used when parking it for extended periods of
time.
•
Avoid unnecessary parking outdoors. Direct exposure to sunlight/UV radiation causes the tyres to age more
quickly. As a result, the tread surface hardens and corner pieces break out of the tread.
The tyres must be changed when the tread is less than 1 mm (0.04") to ensure safe driving behaviour.
•
The tyres should be replaced every 2 years regardless of wear and tear.
•
•
When power wheelchairs with PU tyres are parked for longer periods, the tyres may become deformed (flat
spots). This deformation will go away on its own over time while driving.
