  • compressor
  • Optional: cable ties (3 pieces)

To change the tire, take the motor and clamp it or  place it on a stable surface. Be careful not to damage the axle or the cable attachment.

  1. Lubricate the tire generously with appropriate assembly paste.
  2. Deflate the tire completely.
  3. Carefully place the mounting lever on the tire.
  4. Pry the tire off the rim piece by piece.
  5. Clean the inside of the rim if necessary.
  6. Lubricate the rim and the new tire again with assembly paste
  7. Put the new tire back on the rim using the tire levers. 
    Tip : If you pull one half of the tire together with 3 cable ties, it will be easier to lever it onto the rim.
  8. Pump up the tire with the compressor to about 3 bar. Then let the air out of the tire if necessary.
  9. Remove all residues of assembly paste.
