Invacare Topan user manual Repair the flat tyre

Repair the flat tyre.

•Remove the valve cap.

•Let the air out of the tyre completely by pressing the pin in the centre of the valve in.

•Remove the 5 cylinder head screws (back of the wheel, 2).

•Remove the rim halves from the tyre.

•Remove the inner tube from the tyre.

•Repair the inner tube and re-fit, or replace it with a new one.

NOTE

In case the old inner tube is to be repaired and used again, and it happens to get wet during repair, then it is easier to re-fit it if you powder it lightly with talcum powder.

•Re-fit the rim halves back into the tyre.

•Pump up the tyre a little.

•Re-position the cylinder head screws in the rim and tighten them firmly. Make sure the inner tube does not get pinched between the rims halves!

•Check to make sure that the tyre is squarely in place on the rim.

•Pump up the tyre to the recommended tyre pressure.

•Check to make sure that the tyre is still squarely and snugly in place on the rim.

•Screw the valve cap back on.

•Refit the wheel.
