Tires: Service and Repair






INSTALLATION
1. Clean and lubricate both the tire inflation former and the rim edge with liquid lubricant or fitting paste (part No. 45 - 30 21 169). If A Paste Is Used, Avoid Rapid Acceleration and strong braking until the wheel warms up as the tire might shift on the rim.
2. Fit and inflate the tire to 35 bars (51 psi) without fitting the valve.

IMPORTANT: If the tire is not tight to the rim edge (A) at 35 bars (51 psi), remove the tire and repeat lubrication.

3. After that, release the pressure.
4. Fit the valve and inflate the tire to the correct pressure.
5. Check that the centering rim moves at an even circular tracking by starting the machine and then opening the cowling before the brake is activated.
6. Also check the radial and axial run out by in the same way. No run out should exceed 1 mm.

IMPORTANT:
^ When changing the tire with accessory wheel "SuperAero" with the dimensions 6-1/2 16" certain safety measures must be taken.
^ To avoid damage to the rim it should be positioned with the front side downwards when fitting the tire. Use clean plastic inlays when mounting the rim to the tire machine. Ensure that the pressure to the tire machine is sufficiently high so that the risk of slipping is eliminated. Minimum pressure: 8 kg at fitting.
