Tyre Changing - Vermeiren L3-Carpo 3 Mode D'emploi

TYRE CHANGING

If you want to change the tyres or inner tubes, you should note the following:
Before you can remove a tyre, you must let all the air out of the tube, and insert a tyre lever between
the tyre and the rim. Then slowly and carefully push the lever downwards. This will pull the tyre over
the edge of the rim. If you then move the lever along the rim, the tyre will jump out. Now carefully
remove the tyre from the rim and then remove the tube.
L
There must be no air in the tube before it can be removed.
L
If handled improperly, the rim might be damaged. Rather let an expert perform these activities.
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:
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.
SCOOTERS Instruction Manual
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.
