Check all around on both sides to make sure that the tube is not pinched between the edge of the tyre
and the rim. Push the valve gently inwards and pull it out again to ensure that the tyre is fitted properly
in the region of the valve.
When inflating the wheel, you should at first only pump enough air that it is still possible to press the
tyre inwards with your thumbs. Then check the control line on both sides of the tyre. If it is spaced
evenly around the rim, the tyre is mounted concentrically. If not, let out the air and repeat the process.
Now inflate the tyre to its maximum operating pressure (note the correct pressure!!) and replace the
valve cap.
When mounting a tyre, make sure that no objects or body parts are pinched between the tyre
and the rim, since that could cause damage and/or injury.
Only trained mechanics can guarantee that the tyre is fitted properly. Any guarantee claim is
voided when the work has not been done by a specialist dealer.
Always inflate the tyres to the correct operating pressure. This can be read on the sidewall of
the tyre (also refer to the "Technical details").
Use only inflating equipment complying with regulations and indicating the pressure in bar, or
use the supplied air pump. We decline all liability for damage caused by inflating equipment
not supplied by the manufacturer.
TRANSPORTING THE WHEELCHAIR
When transporting your wheelchair, you should note the following:
Before picking up the wheelchair all movable parts must be removed (foot supports, armrests, etc.).
The wheelchair should only be grasped by solid frame parts when it is lifted up.
To prevent damage, the leg supports and armrests must be detached during transportation.
When reassembling, make sure that all screws are retightened properly.
If you require to be moved upwards or downwards on a staircase, tip the wheelchair slightly
backwards. The wheelchair can then be rolled forwards step by step on the driving wheels. A second
person is required to secure the wheelchair in front by taking hold of the front of the frame after
removing the leg supports.
At least two helpers are always required for negotiating steps or staircases.
Note that, after detaching the foot supports, the legs of the user are not secured; danger of
injury !!
If the tube fits snugly inside the tyre without any folds
(in the case of folds: deflate it somewhat), then, using
both hands, push the upper side of the tyre gently
over the rim, again starting opposite the valve.
