Checking and Monitoring Your Tire Pressure
Below are some basic steps to checking your tire pressure.
The basic steps consist of the following:
One must determine the proper tire pressure for their vehicle. Most vehicle manufacturers place it either in the driver’s side door jam, console lid, or glove compartment door.
Tire pressure increase with heat so it is best to check your tire pressure when the tire is cold not after you have driven a few miles
The first set should be remove valve stem cap of tire to be checked with working tire gauge Place tire gauge over valve stem until pressure is read. You may hear a slight hissing sound. This is normal as some air will escape.
If your tire pressure is low use the air pump to fill it to the proper pressure. Use the gauge constantly to check to make sure you do not over fill.
If you do at any time over fill the tire remove air by pressing on valve stem needle. You’ll hear a hissing sound – this is normal. Re-check tire until properly filled.
After you have made sure your tire pressure is to manufacture specification I use a device called tire pressure alert. This unit replaces your existing vale cap. The unit measures your tire pressure constantly. If your tire pressure falls 4psi below the initial filled pressure then the valve cap blinds red. This warns you if in any way you are losing tire pressure.
The tire pressure Alert vale cap is great because you’re able to detect any lost of air pressure before you travel. I would highly recommend using such device, its hands free, no need to kick the tire or use a tire gauge after the first fill up and installation of unit. This unit works also on most motorcycles, SUVs and trucks. To pick up these special tire monitor valve caps please go to www.tirepressurealert.com.
Mobility scooters and related equipment
Due to a rather picturesque range of neurological ailments, not to mention the increasing effects of advancing age, I have become sort of less mobile than I used to be. Where I used to be able to briskly walk for hours and hours, I now move slowly at a tortoises pace, for a maximum of one hour, leaning on either a cane or a crutch – depending on how I happen to function that day. But I won’t complain: there’s nothing I truly lack in my life, and diminished mobility doesn’t unduly bother me.
However, for the longer distances I nowadays use an electrical, which kind of makes me feel like a prince or even a king! Relaxedly sitting in a cusioned seat, pleasantly but never haughtly greeting the admiring passers-by, I buzz along at either walking pace or double speed. When I feel relaxed I “walk”, when I really need to be somewhere in time I rev up the little machine.
There are lots of people much worse off than me, when it comes to physical capabilities. I can, though with difficulty, still walk – but a lot of others can’t. Especially for those the electric scooter is a great support, enabling them to be free again. There are 3-wheel mobility scooters and 4-wheel mobility scooters, and if you happen to be considering buying such a contraption, I certainly recommend the 3-wheeled variety. They tend to be considerably more manoeuvrable due to their smaller turning radius, which is a great advantage in crowded or narrow places. I also would advice you to go for batteries with a lot of capacity: it’s not only unpleasant but also extremely embarassing to find yourself out of power when far away from home!
Apart from mobility scooters, there are many more contraptions and gadgets that make the life of the handicapped much more pleasant. Stairlifts, bed lifts, electric wheelchairs, rollators… they all serve to make life much more pleasant for the disabled.
