Tyre Changing - Vermeiren Eclips X4 Instruction Manual

TYRE CHANGING

If you want to change the tyres or inner tubes, please note the following:
After letting all the air out of the tube, insert a tyre lever between the tyre and the rim for the purpose
of removing the tyre. Then slowly and gently push the tyre lever downwards. This will pull the tyre over
the edge of the rim. The tyre will jump out if you then push the lever along the rim. Now it is easy to
remove the tyre and then the tube.
The tube can be pulled out when it contains no more air.
Improper handling might damage the rim. It is best to let a trained mechanic undertake this
task.
Note the following before inserting the new inner tube:
Check the bed of the rim and the inside of the tyre for foreign objects and clean them thoroughly if
necessary. Check the condition of the rim bed, especially around the air valve hole.
Use genuine parts only. We decline all liability for damage caused by non-genuine parts. Contact your
specialist dealer.
FITTING:
Push the rim belt over the air valve of the tube and
then insert it into the rim. Now the rim belt can be
fitted 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. Then inflate the tube just sufficiently to
assume its round shape and place it inside the tyre.
