Repairing flat tires
CAUTION! Risk of explosion! The wheel explodes if the air pressure has not been
released from the wheel before the wheel rim is removed!
• Always let all the air out of the tire before removing the rim.
• Remove the valve cap.
•
Let the air escape completely out of the tire by pressing the
pin in the centre of the valve firmly in.
• Remove the 5 cylinder head screws (reverse side of wheel,
2) using the Allen key bit.
•
Remove the wheel rim halves from the wheel.
•
Remove the inner tube from the wheel.
•
Repair the inner tube and re-fit it, or replace it with a new
one.
NOTE
If the old inner tube has been repaired and is to be used again, and became wet during repair, it
is easier to replace it if it is lightly dusted with talcum powder beforehand.
NOTE
Installation takes place in reverse order. Always ensure that the wheel is replaced on the same
side and in the same direction as it was removed.
