Replacing/Repairing Rear Wheel Tire/Tube
Tire wear is excessive if:
Pneumatic Tires - there is missing tread or the tires are bald.
Urethane Tires - there are cuts, surface defects or the tires are loose on the rims.
Rubber Tires - 30% or more of the tire has worn away.
Invacare recommends that tires and casters be replaced every five years.
WARNING
When cleaning rear cane or hand grip areas use only a clean towel lightly dampened with cool water. Verify that grips are dry prior to
use. Use of soap or ammonia based cleaning solutions will result in the hand grips sliding off the cane assembly. Failure to observe this
warning may result in injury to the user or bystanders.
WARNING
Replacement of rear wheel tube must be performed by a qualified technician.
