CARE AND MAINTENANCE
FIGURE 46. WHEEL REMOVAL
CENTER
NUT
WARNING: Golden Technologies, Inc. does
not recommend that you disas-
semble the tire from the splitrim
wheels. Consult your authorized
Golden Companion dealer for as-
sistance with this matter. If you
must disassemble a pneumatic
tire from the split rim, the tire
must be completely deflated.
If the tire is not completely de-
flated, serious injury may occur.
To Change a Tire Assembly:
1. Completely deflate the tire. Failure to do so can cause injury.
The front tire on the Companion I is a solid tire. Deflation is not possible.
2. Remove the center nut. See figure 46.
3. Remove the tire assembly from the scooter.
4. Install a new tire assembly or a repaired tire assembly (see the warning on this page)
onto the axle.
5. Install and tighten the center nut.
6. Inflate the tire to the proper pressure.
Rear pneumatic tires should not exceed 50 psi (pounds per square inch). This is
a maximum tire pressure. Tires should never be inflated beyond that pressure.
The front tire on the Companion II requires 50 psi.
The front tire on the Companion I is a solid tire. It does not require air.
NOTE: Under-inflated tires will cause significant loss of operational range and
will also cause the motor control board to overheat.
