L
When inflating the tyres, always check that the pressure is correct. The correct pressure is given
on the tyre walls (also refer to "Technical details").
L
Improper assembly or use of tyres other then ours voids any warranty claim.
TYRE CHANGING
If you want to change the tyres or inner tubes, you should note the following:
Removing the tyre
Before you can remove a tyre, you must let all the air out of the tube, and insert a tyre lever between
the tyre and the rim. Then slowly and carefully push the lever downwards. This will pull the tyre over
the edge of the rim. If you then move the lever along the rim, the tyre will jump out. Now carefully
remove the tyre from the rim and then remove the tube.
L
If handled improperly, the rim might be damaged. Rather let an expert perform these activities.
Check the rim bed and the inside wall of the tyre for foreign matter and clean these properly if
necessary. Check the condition of the rim bed, especially around the position of the air valve. Please
use only genuine original replacement parts. We do not accept any liability for damage caused by
non-genuine parts. Kindly contact your specialist dealer.
L
Check that no objects or body parts are caught between the tyre and the edge of the rim,
since it could cause damage or injury.
L
Improper assembly voids any warranty claim.
In case of problems, please turn to your local dealer.
Placing the tyres
Place
the rim belt in position over the air valve before inserting it into the rim. Then the rim belt can be
pulled over easily. Check whether all spoke heads are covered (in the case of a plastic rim a rim belt
is not required).
Push the tyre over the edge of the rim, starting behind the air valve. Inflate the tube slightly until it is
round, and place it inside the tyre.
If the inner tube fits snugly inside the tyre without any folds (if there are folds, let some air out), then
you can push the upper side of the tyre gently onto the rim with both hands, beginning behind the air
valve.
L
Check that no objects or body parts are caught between the tyre and the edge of the rim, since it
could cause damage or injury.
L
Improper assembly voids any warranty claim.
L
When inflating the tyres, always check that the pressure is correct. The correct pressure is given
on the tyre walls (also refer to "Technical details").
L
Use only inflating equipment which complies with regulations and indicates the pressure in bar, or
use the supplied air pump. We do not accept any liability for damage caused by using inflation
equipment not supplied by the manufacturer.
