3. Safety inspection and maintenance
3.1. Performance control
As the user, you will be the rst to notice any possible
operational defects with your wheelchair. The following table
indicates the easiest troubleshooting symptoms to identify
and the preliminary inspection that you can perform.
In the event that the symptoms persist after adjusting the
pressure in the tyres, please consult your retailer.
The inner tubes of the wheels are the only components that
you can repair yourself (see paragraph B-2.3).
If the screws and nuts are not tight enough or loose, the axle
fork angle is not perpendicular to the ground, please consult
your retailer to get a competent person to re-set them to
the correct position and tighten appropriately.
(Recommended torque minimum : M5 = 3-6 Nm;
M6 = 7-12 Nm & M8 = 10-20 Nm)
3.2. General inspection
Your distributor, who has the required technical expertise, is
responsible for any wheelchair repairs.
We recommend that you take the wheelchair to your
retailer at least once a year for a complete inspection.
