4.6. Assembly of the tire on the rim

If your tires have reached their wear limit, they must be replaced.
Attention: Using the tires beyond their wear limit can damage the tires and cause accidents.
For fitting the tire on the rim, use a commercially available device.
When mounting the tire on the rim, grease the tire beads and check the sealing areas on rim and
tire for contamination and damage.
Otherwise the rim may break (excessive pressure necessary for mounting).
Attention: If the tire is filled with excessive pressure this may breake the rim or tire. Therefore
please adhere to the max. allowed tire pressure.
Attention: Always check the bead retaining screws for tight fit to prevent detaching of the tire
from the rim during driving.
