WARNING: Risk of injury - Check that the pressure is correct.

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

Maintenance

For the maintenance manual of the tricycles refer to the Vermeiren website:
www.vermeiren.be.
Place the rim belt in position over the air valve
before inserting it into the rim. Then the rim belt
can be pulled over easily. Check that all spoke
heads are covered (a rim belt is not required in
the case of a plastic 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.
