Inflated tyres are accessories.
Dismounting tyres
• Remove the wheel, drain off the air by
holding in the small pin in the valve, or
by unscrewing the valve.
• Ensure that the edge of the tyre is
positioned well into the inner groove of
the rim (48A).
• Bend the edge of the tyre over the edge
of the rim. Use a special tyre lever (48B)
if necessary. Make sure that the tube
does not get caught between the lever
and the edge of the rim.
Fitting tyres
• Insert the tube into the new tyre and
apply a friction-reducing agent (tyre
fitting agent or soap) to the end of the
tyre (48C).
• Ensure that the end of the tyre is
positioned well into the groove of the
rim on one side. Bend the tyre over the
edge. Ensure that the tube does not get
caught.
• Fill the right amount of air pressure and
fit the wheel to the wheelchair.
