Pneumatic Tires (option)
If your wheelchair is equipped with pneumatic tires
the following steps should be followed to install the
inner tube and inflate the tires securely.
Installing the inner tube
1. Before installing an inner tube, make sure the
rim and the inside of the tire are clean.
2. Inflate the inner tube slightly.
3. Position the inner tube valve through the hole
in the rim.
4. Insert the inner tube inside the tire.
Note - Make sure to properly position the inner tube on the rim and inside the tire.
The inner tube must not be twisted or stick out of the tire.
Inflating the tire
1. Look
on
recommended pressure.
2. Connect pump to inner tube valve.
3. Inflate tire, using a pressure gauge to
regularly check tire pressure. Do not
exceed the recommended tire pressure.
Note - Tire pressure can vary from one
manufacturer to another, always check the
recommended air pressure indicated on the
outer tire.
WARNING
• Never use a wheelchair without properly inflate tires, the
recommended tire pressure is indicated on the outer tire.
• Check tire pressure weekly, as recommended in the Maintenance
Checklist.
• Overinflated tires can burst, while under inflated tires can
deform. Tire deformation can cause the wheel locks to slip and
allow the wheel to spin unexpectedly, this can potentially lead
to a loss of control of your wheelchair.
• Proper inflation will extend the lifespan of your tires and
improve ease-of-use.
