Product Information
Full details
The Petrolscooter 400-6 Inner Tube is an essential replacement component designed for mobility scooter owners and operators of small utility vehicles equipped with 6-inch wheels. It provides a robust, heavy-duty solution for maintaining proper tyre pressure and ensuring vehicle stability. While it is highly versatile across multiple tyre dimensions, users must ensure their specific rim size is exactly 6 inches, as this tube is not compatible with alternative wheel diameters.

FAQs
Is this tube compatible with a 4.00-6 tyre?
Yes, this tube is compatible with 4.00-6 tyre sizes.
Does this come with a valve cap?
The tube features a standard Schrader valve which is compatible with all standard valve caps.
Can I use this on a 10-inch wheel?
No, this inner tube is specifically designed for 6-inch wheels only.
What is the material of the valve?
It uses a standard automotive (Schrader) style metal valve stem.
How do I know if this fits my mobility scooter?
Check the sidewall of your existing tyre; if it lists 3.50-6 or 4.00-6, this tube is the correct replacement.
Troubleshooting
Tube loses pressure immediately after inflation
Check that the Schrader valve core is tightened securely and ensure the tube was not pinched during the installation process.
Difficult to seat the tyre on the rim
Apply a small amount of soapy water to the tyre beads to help them slide into place more easily during mounting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, remove the wheel assembly from your vehicle and deflate the old tube completely. Unseat one side of the tyre from the rim to pull out the old tube. Insert the new 400-6 tube, ensuring the valve stem aligns correctly with the rim hole. For maintenance, check the tyre pressure monthly to prevent premature wear or flats. Keep the tyre clear of sharp debris that could puncture the tube during operation.
