3.11 Pneumatic tyre changing

L
NOTE:
Always make sure that the wheels are sufficiently inflated, since it could
affect the driving behaviour.
L
NOTE:
We do not accept any liability for wheels not supplied by the
manufacturer.
L
NOTE:
There must be no air in the tube before it can be removed.
L
CAUTION:
Chance of damage - If handled improperly, the rim might be damaged.
Rather let an expert perform these activities.
If you want to change the tyres or inner tubes, you should note the following:
1. Let all the air out of the inner tube.
2. Insert a tyre lever between the tyre and the rim.
3. Slowly and gently push the tyre lever downwards. This will pull the tyre over the edge
of the rim.
4. Then 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.
L
NOTE:
Only an expert can guarantee correct assembly. Work not done by your
specialist dealer, would void the warranty of claims.
L
WARNING:
Chance of damage and injury - When mounting a tyre, make sure no
objects or body parts are pinched between the tyre and the rim.
L
CAUTION:
Chance of damage - When inflating the tyres, always check that the
pressure is correct. The correct pressure is given on the tyre walls.
L
CAUTION:
Chance of damage - Use only inflating equipment which complies
with regulations and indicates the pressure in bar, or use the supplied air pump.
We do not accept any liability for damage caused by inflating equipment not
supplied by the manufacturer.
Note the following before inserting the new inner tube:
Check the rim bed and the inside wall of the tyre for foreign matter and clean these properly
if necessary. Check the condition of the rim bed, especially around the position of the air
valve.
Please use only genuine original replacement parts. We do not accept any liability for
damage caused by non-genuine parts. Kindly contact your specialist dealer.
Place the rim belt in position over the air valve before inserting it into the
rim. Then the rim belt can be pulled over easily. Check that all spoke
heads are covered (a rim belt is not required in the case of a plastic 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.
