Notes on removing/mounting tyres

Note
• When fitting tyres, the direction of rotation and the inner and outer sides should be noted!
• Use only TIP TOP Universal, order No. 593 0601 (3.5 kg bucket) or Contifix as the mounting paste.
• Ensure that no damage (scoring, soiling) is caused to the assembly head of the fitting machine during
fitting. Such damage may result in paint damage and pressure marks on the rim flange.
Avoid slipping on to the rim flange. Use rim flange protection (assembly aid)
−B− .
Adhesive tape can be used to protect the rim flange in individual cases, in order to prevent any paint
damage during fitting. The mounting lever can also be covered with adhesive tape in order to avoid
damaging the area around the spokes during removal.
The valve must always be replaced when changing a tyre. Steel valves −1− are used for 18−inch
Turbo II wheels and rubber valves −2− for 18−inch Turbo−Look II wheels.
Check the wheel for damage.
