Tyre pressure
The pressure is shown on the tyre and must never be exceeded. The maximum permitted pressure is 450kPa
(65 PSI - 4.5 bar). Remember that the tyre pressure on both wheels should be the same to ensure perfect
steering.
In case of a puncture, the tyre has to be removed from the rim. Press the valve to let all the remaining air out
of the inner tube. Pull the tyre off the rim. Repair or replace the inner tube. Put the tyre back on the rim.
Inflate the tyre to the required pressure.
Note: It may be necessary to use one or two tyre removal tools (not supplied).
WARNING
Applicable only to chairs fitted with 24" wheels. These chairs are assembled with the wheels set in the
rearward position. It is important that the chairs are not re-configured with the wheels set in the "forward"
position; this would allow the footrest hangers to disengage the brake levers when swung away from their
locked position, causing the chair to become unstable.
Handrims
The handrims are used by the user to drive the wheelchair.
Note: As the handrims are in contact with your hands, make sure that they are not damaged and that the
surface has no parts which might cause injury to the hands.
Adjustment: No adjustment is required for the handrims. Handrims that are fitted to INVACARE self-
propelling wheelchairs must not be removed to reduce the width of the wheelchair for access to narrow
entrances, or for any other purposes. The wheelchairs are tested to ISO 7176 specifications including static,
impact and fatigue. The wheel assembly complete with handrim is included in such testing.
The handrim is part of the whole wheelchair design, and structural integrity may be affected if the handrim is
removed.
Removal of handrims from the products will also invalidate any warranty on the chair.
