REPLACING PNEUMATIC TIRES/TUBES - DRIVE WHEELS/ CASTERS

WARNING

DO NOT use your wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (p.s.i.). DO NOT overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these suggestions may cause the tire to explode and cause bodily harm.

If tires are pneumatic, replacement of tire or tube MUST be performed by an authorized Invacare dealer or qualified technician.

NOTE: If drive wheels or casters are pneumatic, under-inflation causes excessive wear which results in poor performance of the tires.
