7.1.2 Scopes of maintenanceTo ensure smooth operation at all times, users or attendants with some technical skills can maintain some parts ofthe wheelchair:• Hair and dirt frequently collect between the caster fork and the caster wheel and make the caster wheels

harder to manoeuvre as time goes by. Remove the caster wheel and thoroughly clean the fork and caster wheelusing a mild household cleaner.CAUTION: In order to avoid impairing the tip resistance of the product, the caster wheel journal anglemust not be changed during this process.

• The rear wheels are equipped with quick-release axles. To keep this system operational, ensure that no dirtadheres to the quick-release axle or axle housing. Periodically lubricate the quick-release axle very lightly withresin-free sewing machine oil.

• If the wheelchair becomes wet, it should be rubbed dry again.• Bolted connections must be periodically checked for tightness, especially during the initial period of use or

after adjustments have been made to the wheelchair. If a screw connection loosens repeatedly, contact thespecialist dealer promptly.

7.2 Repair7.2.1 Inner tube/rim tape/tyre replacement

INFORMATIONWhen driving outdoors, always carry a repair kit and tyre pump (when using pneumatic tyres) in case of emer­gency. Suitable tyre pumps are listed on the order form and are supplied with the product. An alternative is tyre foam,which fills your tyre and then hardens (available from bicycle shops etc.).

Repairing flat tyres requires only the necessary tools and minimal technical skills. Users may change tyres them­selves if they wish:

Removal and Preparing for Installation1) Carefully remove the tyre from the rim using appropriate tools.

INFORMATION: Take care not to damage the rim or the inner tube.2) Unscrew the valve nut from the valve and remove the tube.3) Repair the tube according to the directions in the repair kit or replace it with a new tube.4) Before fitting the tyre again, inspect the rim bed and tyre inner wall for foreign objects. This could have caused

the puncture. 5) Before installing the tube, check that the rim band is in proper condition. The rim band protects the tube from

being damaged by the ends of the spokes.

Ottobock | 29Ventus

Maintenance/Repair

56 57

Replacing the Rim Band (only when necessary)1) If the rim band needs to be replaced, remove it from the rim.2) Install the new rim band on the inside of the rim, making sure the valve opening is in the right position. 3) Glue the rim band in place if this is intended. Ensure that all spoke ends are covered.

Installing the Tube and Tyre1) Behind the valve, push one side of the tyre over the edge of the rim. 2) Slightly inflate the tube until it starts to assume its round shape. 3) Unscrew the valve nut from the tube and push the valve through the valve opening in the rim.4) Insert the tube into the tyre. 5) Mount the other side of the tyre on the rim, starting from the position across the valve. Ensure that the tube is

not pinched between the tyre and rim during this process.

58 59

Inflating the Tube1) Ensure that the valve is positioned perpendicularly for proper positioning of the tube and tyre in the region of

the valve. 2) Firmly screw on the valve nut.3) Inflate the tube so that the tyre can still be pressed in easily with your thumb.

INFORMATION: If the circumferential lines on the two sides of the tyre are both at an even distancefrom the rim, the tyre is centred. If not, let some air out and realign the tyre.

4) Inflate the tube to the maximum pressure specified by the tyre manufacturer (see information printed on thecasing).

5) Firmly screw the valve cap onto the valve.
