Dealing With A Flat Tyre - Flyer MOUNTAIN Série Notice Originale

factory are pretreated with sealant for tubeless
use . Once you have let your FLYER specialist
retailer perform the simple installation, you can
enjoy improved traction off road and increased
puncture protection .
Tubeless tyres must only be fitted and
removed from the rim without tools, as
using them could cause leaks .
If the sealant is not sufficient to prevent a
defect, a normal tube can be used once
the valve has been removed .
14.3 Dealing with a flat tyre
Correct and safe repair of a flat tyre requires
specialised E-Bike knowledge and special tools .
Have technical defects and flat tyres exclusively
repaired by your FLYER specialist retailer .
Repairing a tyre puncture involves hav-
ing to adjust safety-relevant compo-
nents . Incorrect mounting of the wheels
and brakes can lead to severe falls and
injuries . We strongly advise you not to
repair a tyre puncture alone . Ask your
FLYER specialist retailer to fix the tyre
puncture for you .
Get thorough instructions from your
FLYER specialist dealer and practise
changing the wheels and tyres under
their supervision if you plan to repair
your own flat tyres. The system must be
switched off and the battery must be re-
moved before changing a tyre or wheel .
You need the following equipment to repair a tyre
puncture:
• Plastic tyre lever
• Patches
• Rubber cement
• Sandpaper
• Open-ended spanner or wrench
(for wheels without quick-release fasteners)
• Air pump
• Spare tube
If your bike is equipped with hydraulic rim
brakes, proceed to remove the brakes as follows:
• If you have quick releases for the brakes, you
can remove a brake unit according to the man-
ufacturer's instructions .
• If you do not have a brake quick-release fas-
tener, deflate all of the air out of the tyre.
If your FLYER is equipped with a disc brake, you
can remove the wheel without further preparation .
Please note: when fitting the wheel, the disc must
be slotted between the brake linings of the brake
calliper and ultimately be centred without contact .
In the case of back pedal brakes, the screws on
the brake arm of the chain stay have to be opened .
2 . Removing the wheel
• If your bicycle has quick-release fasteners or
axles, open them.
• If your bicycle has hexagonal bolts, then loos-
en them in anti-clockwise direction with a fitting
ring spanner or box-end wrench.
Removing the wheel
Front wheel
If your bicycle has quick-re-
lease fasteners or axles,
open them .
If your bicycle has hexago-
nal bolts, then loosen them
in anti-clockwise direction
with a fitting ring spanner or box-end wrench.
You can then remove the front wheel according to
the steps listed above .
Rear wheel
If your bicycle uses a derailleur gear system,
change gear to the smallest sprocket . In this posi-
tion, the rear derailleur poses the least hindrance
in removing the wheel .
If your bicycle has quick-release fasteners or ax-
les, open them .
If your bicycle has hexagonal bolts, then loosen
them in anti-clockwise direction with a fitting ring
spanner or box-end wrench.
Pull the rear derailleur backwards a little .
Lift the bicycle slightly .
Lightly strike the wheel from above with the palm
of the hand . Take the wheel out of the frame .
If your bicycle has a gear hub, please consult the
instructions supplied by your manufacturer for re-
moving the wheel .
Removing the tyre and inner tube
• Unscrew the valve cap, the fastening nut and
possibly the cap nut from the valve .
• Release all of the remaining air from the inner
tube .
