when they are still learning how to
operate their wheelchairs. Anti-tip
tubes (1) prevent a wheelchair

Pressing the release button allows
the anti-tip tubes (1) to be moved
upwards or removed. An interval of
3 cm to 5 cm should be maintai-

the anti-tip tubes upwards when going up and
down large obstacles (such as a curb) to prevent
them from touching the ground.

Tires and Mounting
Tires and Mounting
(8.1)
Always make sure you that you maintain the correct
tire pressure, as this can have an effect on
wheelchair performance. If the tire pressure is too
low, rolling resistance will increase, requiring more
effort to move the chair forward; low tire pressure
also has a negative impact on maneuverability. If the
tire pressure is too high, the tire could burst. The
correct pressure for a given tire is printed on the
surface of the tire itself. Tires can be mounted the
same way as an ordinary bicycle tire. Before instal-
ling a new inner tube, you should always make sure
that the base of the rim and the interior of the tire
are free of foreign objects. Check the pressure after
mounting or repairing a tire. It is critical to your
safety and to the wheelchair's performance that
regulation air pressure be maintained and that tires
be in good condition.
Possible Problems
Wheelchair pulls to one side
• Check tyre pressure
• Check to make sure wheel turns easily (bearings,
axle)
• Check to make sure both casters are making
proper contact with the ground
Casters begin to wobble
(9.2.1)
• Check to make sure all bolts are secure; tighten if
necessary (see the page on torque)
• Check to make sure both casters are making
proper contact with the ground
Wheelchair / Cross-tube assembly does not
snap into position in the seat saddle
• Chair is still new, i.e., the seat or backrest up-
holstery is still very stiff. This will improve with
continued use.
Wheelchair is difficult to fold up
• Screws of the cross-tube brackets are too tight.
Wheelchair squeaks and rattles
• Check to make sure bolts are secure; tighten if
necessary (see the page on torque).
• Apply small amount of lubrication to spots where
movable parts come in contact with one another
Wheelchair begins to wobble
• Check tyre pressure.
• Check to see if rear wheels are adjusted
differently.
