another vehicle by sufficiently tightening the tensioning

Tyres contain chemical substances that can react to other
chemical substances (such as cleaning agents, acids, etc.).
Black tyres also contain soot particles.
The power wheelchair must be stored in a dry place.
For transport and storage, an ambient temperature range
from -40 °C to +65 °C ( -40 °F to +149 °F) ( must be ob-
served.
INFORMATION
If your power wheelchair is not moved for several
days, permanent colour changes might result on the ground
where the wheelchair comes into contact with it. For this
reason, place a suitable mat underneath the wheelchair, if it
is not going to be used over an extended period of time.
INFORMATION
Black tyres can leave black traces on the ground
under some circumstances. For this reason, we recommend
choosing grey tyres when using the power wheelchair main-
ly indoors.
INFORMATION
Direct sunlight/UV light causes the tyres to age
prematurely. As a result, the tread surface hardens and cor-
ner pieces break out of the tread.
INFORMATION
Whenever possible, avoid parking the wheelchair
outdoors. Regardless of wear and tear, the tyres should be
replaced every 2 years.
