Removing tyre from rim:
1. Let all the air out of the tube.
2. Insert a tyre lever between the tyre and the rim.
3. Slowly and carefully push the lever downwards. This will pull the tyre over the edge of the
rim.
4. Move the lever along the rim, the tyre will jump out.
5. Now carefully remove the tyre from the rim and then remove the tube.
Note the following before inserting the new tube:

if necessary. Check the condition of the rim bed, especially around the position of the air
valve. Please use only genuine original replacement parts. No liability is accepted for
damage caused by non-genuine replacement parts. Kindly contact your specialist dealer.

valve juts out the valve opening in the rim.
Push the tyre over the edge of the rim, starting behind the air valve. Inflate
the tube slightly until it is round, and place it inside the tyre.
If the tube fits snugly inside the tyre without any folds (in the case of folds:
let out some air), then the upper side of the tyre can be pressed lightly
onto the rim with both hands, starting at the air valve.
Check all around on both sides that the tube is not pinched between the rim and the edge of
the tyre. Lightly push the air valve inwards and pull it out again to make sure that the tyre is
positioned properly in the region of the air valve.
To ensure that the wheel is inflated correctly, admit only so much air initially that the tyre can
