• Wet the tyre bead and rim profile with soap and water (Fig. 11) using a
brush.
• Inflate the tyre to the working pressure shown on the tyre until the two
beads engage with the rim (Fig. 12).
Deflate the tyre almost completely (Fig. 13) and inspect the tyre by pressing
lightly with your fingers along the entire circumference to make sure the
bead is perfectly inserted.
If the tyre is not properly mounted the bead will come out of its housing
on the rim.
• Inflate the tyre to the pressure marked on the tyre wall.
Make sure the tyre shows a regular shape all along its circumference.
• Close the lock ring with your fingers (C - Fig. 14).
• Screw back the valve ring (C - Fig. 14)
• Put back the valve cap (B - Fig. 14).
3.5 - HOW TO REPAIR A PUNCTURE
WARNING!
• Change the tyre immediately if it is punctured, even minimally. A da-
maged tyre could explode, even suddenly, and cause accidents, physical
injury or death.
• NEVER use pierce-resistant sealers containing alkaline substances
(ammonia - sodium hydroxide).
