Maintenance; Regular Maintenance - Vermeiren SAGITTA Instruction Manual

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 inflated correctly, admit only so much air initially that the tyre can
still be easily pushed inwards by using your thumbs. If the check-lines are equidistant from
the edge of the rim on both sides of the tyre, then the tyre is centered properly. If not - let out
the air and position the tyre afresh.
Now the tyre can be inflated to its full operating pressure (note the maximum!!) and the valve
cap should be replaced.
