13.17 Wheels & tires maintenance
To ensure that your wheelchair functions properly, it is essential that the tires are kept at the correct pressure. The
correct tyre pressure is indicated on the side of the tyre.
Tyres that are too soft will have a negative effect on the wheelchair's performance. Moving the wheelchair will require
more energy, making more demands on the batteries. Furthermore, wear on under inflated tyres is increased.
When inspecting the tyres for signs of wear, look for significant scuff marks, cuts and a diminished tyre tread. Tyres will
need to be changed when the tread cannot be seen over the complete surface of the tyre.
