Taking the rim apart
The rim can be taken apart to make it possible to fit/remove pneumatic tires. Solid tires can not be
removed from the rim, on chassis with solid tires, remove the whole wheel incl. the rim, see page 12.
1. Remove the wheel in question from the wheelchair. See the previous page.
2. Let the air out of the tire.
WARNING
Ensure that tire is not pressurized before the rim is taken apart, otherwise there is a risk of personal injury.
3. Remove the four screws holding the two halves of the rim together (see illustration).
4. Take the rim apart.
Fitting
Fit in the reverse order.
Use a torque wrench to tighten the screws holding the rim halves in place to 17.7 ft-lbs (24 Nm)
NOTE
Do not use an impact wrench for the tightening torque.
WARNING
The recommended tire pressure for pneumatic tires is 17-29 psi
(120-200 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.
