Brake release
Check regularly, approximately once
a month, that the brake release is
working properly.
When the brakes are released, it
should not be possible to drive the
wheelchair.
Wheels
Check at regular intervals that the
wheelchair's tires have the prescribed
tire pressure. An incorrect tire pressure
can cause deterioration in stability and
manueverability, plus extremely low
air pressure can give rise to abnormal
wear as well as shorter driving distanc-
es. So check regularly to see that the
tires are maintained at a pressure of 29
psi (200 kPa).
Filling tires with air
1. Unscrew the plastic cap on the air valve of the tire.
2. Connect the compressed air nozzle to the air valve and adjust the tire pres-
sure to the prescribed level.
Inner tube replacement, front tire
1. Chock up the wheelchair so that the wheel turns freely and let out the air.
2. Take the tire off the wheel rim.
3. Replace the inner tube.
4. Put the tire back on the wheel rim and fill with air.

WARNING
The recommended tire pressure for front and rear tires is 29 psi (200 kPa). Overfilling entails a
risk of explosion.
The incorrect tire pressure may result in lower stability and maneuverability. So check regularly
that the tires have the correct pressure.
