NOTICE
There are also repair sprays available. You find more details on these sprays
further below in this chapter.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
There are specific patches available for tubeless tyres which are applied
inside. If need be you can also use a conventional repair patch. Always ob-
serve the operating instructions of the repair kit manufacturer.
Tyre Mounting
Before you start mounting make sure the inside of the tyre and the tyre bead
are free of dirt and lubricant.
NOTICE
Do not use tyre levers to avoid damage. Press the tyre on the rim by exclu-
sively using your hands to avoid damage to the tyre bead.
It is recommended that you use the tools of the respective tyre manufactur-
er for mounting as they are designed to be used together.
Insert the valve from the inside through the valve hole and slide the rubber seal as
well as the plastic washer matching the shape of the rim on the valve stem. Screw
on the valve nut with its flat side first until the valve fits reliably and is tight.
Observe whether the running direction of the tyre is indicated. Mounting tubeless
tyres is like mounting clincher tyres. Start in the area opposite the valve and press
the tyre into the rim base, as far as possible, without tool and by using your hands
(d)
. Work yourself around until you reach the valve
(e)
. Align the tyre equally.
Observe the position of the valve between the sides of the tyre. Apply some as-
sembly liquid provided by the tyre manufacturer to the tyre bead and the inside
of the rim edges
(f)
. This makes the tyre slide easier into its position. Press the
tyre to the side so that you reach the bottom with the sponge.
Check the seat of the tyre at the valve once again. Press from above on the tyre
and work yourself around; make sure the tyre is equally seated all around and in
contact with the tyre base.
