CAUTION: Risk of damage - If handled improperly, the rim might be damaged.
Note the following before inserting the new tube:
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. No liability is accepted for damage caused by non-
genuine replacement parts. Kindly contact your specialist dealer.

CAUTION: Risk of injury - Make sure that no objects or body parts are pinched between the
tyre and the rim when mounting a tyre.

WARNING: Risk of injury - Make sure all screws are firmly secured by hand before driving
with your scooter. Screw adhesive (ex. Loctite) should be applied to the screws on the
flange. Screw adhesive will only work if the thread is free of grease and particles.

. Inflate the wheel to the recommended tyre pressure.
Check all around on both sides that the tube is not pinched between the rim and the edge of the tyre.
Lightly push the air valve inwards and pull it out again to make sure that the tyre is positioned properly
in the region of the air valve.
To ensure that the wheel is inflated correctly, admit only so much air initially that the tyre can still be
easily pushed inwards by using your thumbs. If the check-lines are equidistant from the edge of the
rim on both sides of the tyre, then the tyre is centered properly. If not - let out the air and position the
tyre afresh. Now the tyre can be inflated to its full operating pressure (note the maximum) and the
valve cap should be replaced.
Only an expert can guarantee correct assembly. Work not done by your specialist dealer, would void
any warranty claims.
When inflating the tyres, always check that the pressure is correct. The correct pressure is given on
the tyre walls.
Use only inflating equipment which complies with regulations and indicates the pressure in bar. We do
not accept any liability for damage caused by using inflation equipment not supplied by the
manufacturer.
