Steering wheels (front wheels)
Removing tyre from rim:
1. Let all the air out of the tube.
2. Insert a tyre lever between the tyre and the rim.
3. Slowly and carefully push the lever downwards. This will pull the tyre over the edge of the
rim.
4. Move the lever along the rim, the tyre will jump out.
5. Now carefully remove the tyre from the rim and then remove the tube.
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.
Assembly tyre from rim:
Put the deflated tube around the center of the rim. Make sure that the
valve juts out the valve opening in the rim.
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 tube fits snugly inside the tyre without any folds (in the case of folds:
let out some air), then the upper side of the tyre can be pressed lightly
onto the rim with both hands, starting at the air valve.
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.
When inflating the tyres, always check that the pressure is correct. The correct pressure is
given on the tyre sides.
