Troubleshooting

Functional check
Once the wheelchair is assembled and adjusted, it should
roll smoothly and easily. All accessories should also perform
correctly.
If you have any problems, follow these procedures:
•
Review assembly and adjustment sections to make sure
the chair was properly prepared.
• Review troubleshooting guide.
You will need to adjust your chair from time to time for best
performance, especially if you alter the original settings. The
chart below gives you initial solutions.
Work from the left of the chart to the right, if needed, you may
need to look farther to find the best solution for a specific
problem.
• To keep track of your progress, make only ONE change at
a time.
• If your problem persists, contact your authorized supplier.
If you still have a problem after contacting your authorized
supplier, contact Sunrise Medical customer service.

Tyres and mounting
With pneumatic tyres make sure that you maintain the correct
tyre pressure, as this can have an effect on wheelchair
performance. If the tyre pressure is too low, rolling resistance will
increase, requiring more effort to move the chair forward. Low
tyre pressure also has a negative impact on manoeuvrability. If
the tyre pressure is too high, the tyre could burst. The correct
pressure for a given tyre is printed on the surface of the tyre
itself.
Tyres can be mounted the same way as an ordinary bicycle
tyre. Before installing a new inner tube, you should always make
sure that the base of the rim and the interior of the tyre are
free of foreign objects. Check the pressure after mounting or
repairing a tyre. It is critical to your safety and to the wheelchair's
performance that regulation air pressure be maintained and that
tyres be in good condition.
