In the case of a flat tire, you do the following:
You can use plastic tire level for tire mounting.
1. As described above dismount the appropriate wheel like in
the instructions of this manual.
2. Deflate the tire and push a tire lever under the tire bead
opposite the valve and lift the tire over the rim flange.
3. Push the second tire lever in a distance of approx.. 10cm
from the first one between tire and rim and lift again. (Image

4. Now you can generally lift the tire over the whole circumfe -
rence of the wheel by moving the lever and the inner tube can
be removed.
5. Dip the disassembled and inflated tube in a water bath to
discover the leak on the rising air bubbles.
6. Repair the tube according to the instructions on the repair
kit or if necessary replace it.
7. Check the tire for sharp objects that could have caused the
puncture and remove them. If the fabric of the tire is dama
-
ged, replace it.
8. Start mounting the tube by inserting the valve into the valve
hole in the rim and inflate the tube with very little air pressure
until it is wrinkle-free.
9. Now mount the tube with no creases under the tires and
deflate it again. (Image 54)
10. Now, starting opposite the valve, lift the tire wall over the
flange of the rim and pull it deep into the rim and lift the rest
of the tire by hand over the rims edge. Use no tire levers, as
you risk damaging the tube.
11. Now push up the valve, so the tube won´t be pinched
between tyre bead and rim.
12. Inflate the tyre with low pressure and make sure that it sits
evently on the rim
13. Make sure to inflate the tire to manufacturers recommen -
ded tire pressure.
