8.3 Changing a Tire
If a re is punctured, the user or a helper may be able to change it without assistance.
The procedure requires having strong hands, praccal ability and suitable tools. It is advisable
to have a puncture repair kit and an air pump for emergencies (excluding situaons with punc-
ture proof res). Suitable air pumps, puncture repair kits or puncture sprays that ll the re
with expanding foam can be purchased at most bicycle shops.
Removing res and tubes
• Gently pull the re edge over the edge of the rim with a re lever (or two, if it is sing very
ghtly). Take care not to damage the rim or the tube (Image 61).
• Screw o the valve nut and pull the valve out from the rim and the rim tape.
• Pull out the tube from between the re and the rim (Image 62).
Repair and check-ups
• Repair the tube according to the instrucons in the repair kit or replace it with a new tube.
• Before remounng the re and tube, make sure that no foreign objects that may have
caused the puncture are caught in the rim or re.
• Ensure that the rim tape is intact. It protects the tube against damage from the spokes.
• Push the tube into place between the re and the rim.
Mounng res
• Gently pull the clear re edge over the edge of the rim. Starng with the valve.
• Check that there are no twists at all in the tube, otherwise air can get out.
• Work the whole way around unl the last secon of the re edge is taut and can be edged
into place with one or two levers.
Pumping res
• Check on both sides that the tube is not caught between the re edge and rim.
• Push the valve lightly in and pull It out again to make sure that it is not caught on the re
edge.
• Fill the re with air to the point where it is sll possible to press it in with a thumb. If the
control lines on both sides of the re indicate the same distance to the rim edge, the re
is centred. If the re is not centred, let some air out and adjust the re unl it is centred.
Now pump up the re to its maximum working pressure (see the side of re) or at least 3.5
bars (350 kPa). Then screw the dust cap on, ghtly.
Ensure that the res have the correct pressure before using the chair.The maximum air pres-
sure limit is marked on the side of the re. It must always be on a minimum of 3.5 bars (350
kPa) on the rear wheels.Like push wheel locks, the knee-lever wheel locks are only eecve
when the air pressure is suciently high and when they are correctly posioned.(When
locked, the brake pad should push the re in 5mm (allowing for technical alteraons).
CAUTION!

NB: Pneumac res give a good driving experience. Solid res can be used in work situaons
where risks of punctures due to grit or other objects might occur.

During roune maintenance, it may be necessary to make adjustments or repair faults. In most
cases, the soluon to the problem can be found on the following list:
Problem Soluon Reference
The caster
makes noise or is
resistant
Check if there is dirt between the fork and caster or
dirt in the fork ball-bearings.
Clean o the dirt and ghten the screws. If they do
not roll freely, change the ball-bearings.
Secon 6.17
Secon 6.18
The front fork
shakes
Loosen and remove the bearing housing cap. Then
ghten the nut to a degree where the front fork
with wheel can sll rotate easily.
Make sure that the caster is vercal.
Secon 6.18
The rear wheel
makes a loud
clicking noise
Check and ghten the spokes and the push rim
mounng screws. Only to be done by professionals!
Check that nothing is pushing against the rear
wheel or the rear wheel´s spokes.
Rear wheel resi-
stance
Check if the rear wheel is misaligned.
Check re pressure
Check if, for example, the side panel or another
part is pushing against the rear wheel.
Check if the rear wheel bearings are worn down
and need replacement.
Loud clicking
noise
Check and ghten the screws in the rear wheel and
caster mounng brackets

The footrest is
lopsided
Check that the foot plate is horizontal and adjust
the footrest height. Secon 6.10-12
The wheel locks
do not work
properly
Check that both wheel locks are correctly
posioned.
Inspect the rear wheel res for wear and tear, and
for faulty re pressure.

Instrucons for reuse
11 Instrucons for Reuse
11.1 Instrucons for Reuse
The wheelchairs are suitable for reuse by a subsequent new owner. It is essenal that the
wheelchair´s measurements and equipment are tailored to suit the new user. It follows that it
is important to ensure that the wheelchair’s funcons and features have not been altered to a
degree that could create a safety risk for the new user or any third pares during the lifeme
of the chair.
Based on market studies and on its knowledge of contemporary technology, Wolturnus A/S
has calculated that the wheelchair, when used, serviced and maintained in accordance with the
original instrucons, has a lifeme of 5 years (excluding me kept in storage by an authorised
dealership or the user). Note that with careful care and proper use, the wheelchair can be used
for a longer period than the dened lifeme.
Prior to reuse, the wheelchair must be carefully cleaned and disinfected. Then the product
must be inspected by an authorised specialist to assess its condion, wear and tear, and da-
mage. All worn or damaged parts and components that do not suit or are not designed for the
new user must be replaced. This user´s manual includes a service plan (see maintenance chart
secon 8) and detailed informaon about the wheelchair.
11.2 Disposal
If the wheelchair is delivered in a brown cardboard box, that can be handed into to recycling
centres or cardboard collecon points. The protecve bubble wrap on the frame must be dis-
posed of as combusble waste. The aluminum frame must be disposed of as metal. The uphol-
stery and side panels must be disposed of as combusble waste.
12 Environment
Wolturnus A/S strives to respect the environment as far as possible. An assessment has been
done to determine the wheelchairs eect on the environment during its life cycle. During de-
velopment, materials and forms are chosen that minimise waste of energy and material during
producon.
Wolturnus A/S has a unique approach to individual user´s measurement and to the subse-
quent special design of the chair to meet the user’s needs, preferences and requirements.
Combined with the wheelchair’s mechanical quality, this ensures that the user can use the
wheelchair for many years. The wheelchair lifeme is calculated to be approximately 5 years
if maintained according to the instrucons in this user´s manual. The long lifeme limits the
wheelchair´s eect on the environment.
Furthermore, meculous quality control throughout the producon process ensures that
faults are rare, which limits the need to use superuous resources on repairs or replacement
products.
Generally, all funcons, working processes and labor at Wolturnus A/S are carried out with
respect for the environment. Aluminum residue aer the producon process is collected
in containers and delivered for recycling. During the mounng process, the usage of hazar-
dous agents is kept to a minimum. Furthermore all work processes meet occupaonal safety
requirements (APV). The usage of all materials is connually opmized to ensure minimum
waste.
