CHECKING THE TIRES
ı
• To avoid pinching the tube, make sure
the wheel rim band and tube are centered
in the wheel groove.
• Patching a punctured tube is not recom-
mended. If it is absolutely necessary to do
so, use great care and replace the tube as
soon as possible with a good quality
replacement.
