4.2 Changing pneumatic tyres
Risk of injuries and damage
•Make sure all air is released from the tyre, before removing it.
•Make sure that no body parts, the inner tube nor any other objects are pinched between tyre
and rim.
•Make sure all screws are firmly secured by hand before driving with the wheelchair.
•Make sure that the pressure is correct, see the pressure indication on the tyres.
•Inflate the tyre using inflating equipment which complies to regulations and with a pressure
indication in “bar”.
•Only use replacement parts approved by Vermeiren.
To change the tyre or inner tube, proceed as follows:
1. Let all the air out of the inner tube.
2. Insert a tyre lever between de tyre and the rim.
3. Gently push the tyre lever downwards. This will pull the tyre over the edge of the rim.
4. Move the lever along the rim so the tyre pops out.
5. Carefully remove the tyre from the rim and remove the tube.
Before replacing the tyre, check the rim bed and the inside wall of the tyre for foreign matter and
clean these properly if necessary. Check the condition of the rim bed, especially around the
position of the air valve.
Please use only genuine original replacement parts. We do not accept any liability for damage
caused by non-genuine parts. Kindly contact your specialist dealer.
