CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
TIRES AND TUBES
If your Jet 3 is equipped with pneumatic tires, you should check the air pressure at least once per week. This will
prolong the life of your tires as well as help ensure the perfect operation of your chair. If you have a flat tire, replace
the tube. Replacement tires and tubes are readily available at your authorized Pride provider.
WARNING! To avoid possible injury, be sure that the controllers power is turned off and the power
chair is not in freewheel mode before performing this procedure.
WARNING! Completely deflate the tire before attempting repair.
Follow these easy steps for a quick & safe tube or tire replacement:
1. Completely deflate the tire (if pneumatic).
2. Use a 17 mm socket to remove the nut and washer from wheel axle.
3. Pull the wheel off of the axle.
4. Use a 5 mm hex key to remove the five bolts that hold the two-piece wheel together. The rim will separate into
two pieces.
5. Remove the old tube and/or tire and replace it with a new tube and/or or tire.
6. Place the rim halves together and reinstall the bolts.
7. Slide the wheel back onto the shaft, reinstall the washer, and tighten the nut.
8. Inflate a pneumatic tire to 30 - 35 psi.
CAUTION! Never hose off your Jet or place it in direct contact with water. Your Jet has a painted,
ABS plastic body shroud that allows it to be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth.
CAUTION! Never use any chemicals to clean a vinyl seat, as they may cause the seat to become
slippery or dry out and crack. Use soapy water and dry the seat thoroughly.
