Manual GEMINI
Version: Sept. 2006
L When inflating the tyres, always check that the pressure is correct. The correct pressure is given on the tyre walls (also refer to "Technical details").
L Improper assembly or use of tyres other then ours voids any warranty claim.
TYRE CHANGING
If you want to change the tyres or inner tubes, you should note the following:
Removing the tyre
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 If handled improperly, the rim might be damaged. Rather let an expert perform these activities.
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. We do not accept any liability for damage caused by
L Check that no objects or body parts are caught between the tyre and the edge of the rim, since it could cause damage or injury.
LImproper assembly voids any warranty claim.
In case of problems, please turn to your local dealer.
Placing the tyres
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 whether all spoke heads are covered (in the case of a plastic rim a rim belt is not required).
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 inner tube fits snugly inside the tyre without any folds (if there are folds, let some air out), then you can push the upper side of the tyre gently onto the rim with both hands, beginning behind the air valve.
L Check that no objects or body parts are caught between the tyre and the edge of the rim, since it could cause damage or injury.
L Improper assembly voids any warranty claim.
L When inflating the tyres, always check that the pressure is correct. The correct pressure is given on the tyre walls (also refer to "Technical details").
L Use only inflating equipment which complies with regulations and indicates the pressure in bar, or use the supplied air pump. We do not accept any liability for damage caused by using inflation equipment not supplied by the manufacturer.
