either the solid insert or the entire wheel must be

should only be serviced/replaced by
an authorized
qualified technician.
WARNING! Completely deflate pneumatic tires before dismantling the rim or attempting
repair.
WARNING! Be sure that the key is removed from the key switch and the scooter is not in
freewheel mode before performing this procedure repair.
WARNING! When changing a pneumatic tire, remove only the lug nuts, then remove the
