NOTICE
Damagetotyresduetoexcessivetyrepressure. Make
sure that the tyre pressure indicated in Section 10 “Techni-
cal Data” is not exceeded.
INFORMATION
Direct sunlight (UV light) causes the tyres to age prema-
turely. As a result, the tread surface hardens and corner
pieces break out of the tread.
INFORMATION
Avoid parking the wheelchair outdoors whenever possible.
Regardless of wear and tear, replace the tyres every 2 years.
When the wheelchair is not used for extended periods of time
or if the tyres are heated strongly (e. g. near radiators or by
sunlight shining through a window), permanent deformation
of the tyres will result. Therefore always make sure that the
power wheelchair has sufcient distance from sources of
heat, move your wheelchair from time to time or jack up the
wheelchair when storing it.
