[Inflate the tire]

If it is a pneumatic tire, the appropriate tire pressure can prolong the service life of the inner and outer tires, save more effort in pushing and driving, and also ensure that the brake system can function normally

Practice:

1. Inflation with the air cylinder can increase the pressure of the tire, and deflation through the valve can reduce the pressure of the tire.

2. Check the pressure according to the tire pressure marked on the tire surface or press the tire with your thumb. Ensure that the pressure of each tire is the same, and the normal tire pressure is that the tire is slightly depressed by about 5 mm.

[Tighten the nuts and bolts]

Loose bolts may cause parts to shake and cause unnecessary wear, reduce the stability of wheelchair use, affect the comfort of wheelchair users, and may cause damage or loss of parts, or even secondary injury to users

Practice:

Check the tightness of the bolts or nuts on the wheelchair. Use a wrench to tighten the loose bolts or nuts to ensure the normal use of the wheelchair.

[Tighten the spokes]

Loose spokes can cause wheel deformation or damage

Practice:

When the thumb and index finger squeeze two adjacent spokes at the same time, if the tension is different, you need to use a spoke wrench to adjust so that all spokes are as tight as possible. The spokes should not be too loose to ensure that the spokes will not deform when being slightly squeezed.

[Place in a suitable environment]

Avoid placing and keeping in the following places to avoid failure

(1) Places that may be wet by rain

(2) Under the scorching sun

(3) Wet place

(4) Hot place
