WARNING
DO NOT use your wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (p.s.i.).
DO NOT overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these suggestions may cause the tire to explode and cause bodily harm.
The recommended tire pressure is on the sidewall of the tire.
CAUTION
As with any vehicle, the wheels and tires should be checked periodically for cracks and wear, and should be replaced if
damaged. Replace as recommended, refer to Replacing/Repairing Rear Wheel Tire/Tube
on page 31 and
Replacing/Repairing Caster Tire/Tube
on page 31.
Tire wear is excessive if:
• Pneumatic Tires - there is missing tread or the tires are bald.
• Urethane Tires - there are cuts, surface defects or the tires are loose on the rims.
• Rubber Tires - 30% or more of the tire has worn away.
Invacare recommends that rear wheel tire/tube and caster tire/tube be replaced every five years.
