Repairing a flat tyre

WARNING: Danger of damage or injury if the vehicle is accidentally set into motion during
repairs!
• Switch the power off (ON/OFF Button)!
• Engage the motors!
• Secure the vehicle against rolling away by placing wedges under the wheels!
CAUTION: Risk of damage to the vehicle! Collisions can be caused if shim rings are
removed from the drive wheels during installation work!
• Shim rings are frequently placed between the drive shaft and the wheel hub to compensate
tolerances. Collisions can be caused if these shim rings are removed and not re-installed!
Please install all shim rings in exactly the same positions they were in before dismantling.
