Recommended air pressure
The wheelchair is delivered as standard with solid wheels. Find where the size is
given on the driving wheel/castor wheel, then find the recommended maximum
air pressure in the table. Note that high air pressure makes the wheelchair easier
to roll, whilst lower air pressure gives more cushioning. For optimum handling
properties, the air pressure should be checked regularly.

Inspection after six months, subsequently every year
• Check that the brake works properly. Adjust if necessary.
• Check that the tyres are whole and that there is no damage to the sidewalls.
• Ensure that the wheelchair is clean and that all moveable parts work.
• Check for slack on the front castor wheel fork. Adjust if necessary. The axle
should run freely around its axis, but there should not be any slack in an up/
down direction.
• Check screwed joints and adjust where necessary.
