Reva L-ion, Owner'S Manual, Page: 57 / 106

5.9 REPLACEMENT OF A TYRE
Put on the spare tyre. Put the wheel
nuts back on finger-tight, then tighten
them in a crisscross pattern with the
wheel wrench until the wheel is firm
against the hub.
The Reva can roll of the jack
seriously injuring anyone
underneath. Follow the directions for
changing a tyre exactly and never
get under the vehicle when only the
jack supports it.
CAUTION
Step 6: Lower the Reva to the
ground and remove the jack. Tighten
the wheel nuts securely in the same
crisscross pattern. Place the flat tyre
in the bonnet by screwing the two
bolts. Store the jack and tool kit.
Replace the hubcap by placing it in
its original position and pressing it
gently.

5.8 CHANGING A FLAT TYRE
Place the jack under the jack point.
Turn the end bracket clockwise until the
top of the jack contacts the jack point.
Make sure the jack point tab is resting
in the jack notch
.
Use the jack rod to raise the vehicle
until the flat tyre is just off the ground.
Step 4: Remove the wheel nuts and flat
tyre. Temporarily place the flat tyre on
the ground with the outside surface of
the wheel facing up. You could scratch
the wheel if you put it face down.
Step 5: Before mounting the spare tyre,
wipe any dirt off the mounting surface
of the wheel and hub with a clean cloth.
Wipe the hub carefully, it may be hot
from driving.
