1. ⚠ Note the instruction for warming cold tyres to minimum installation temperature .Observe the safety instructions . — Liberally apply tyre assembly paste to wheel rim flanges, tyre beads and inner side of upper tyre beads.
2. Turn wheel rim on tyre fitting unit so that tyre valve/tyre pressure sensor(1) is directly opposite assembly head (2).
3. Allow tyre fitting unit to turn in a clockwise direction.
4. Stop the fitting of lower bead before reaching tyre valve/tyre pressure sensor(arrow) to prevent damage to tyre pressure sensor.
5. Turn wheel rim on tyre fitting unit so that tyre valve/tyre pressure sensor(1) is directly opposite assembly head (2).

6. Insert depressor (3) on wheel rim.
7. Check to ensure that tyre bead is seated correctly on assembly head and run tyre fitting unit clockwise.
8. Stop the fitting of upper bead before reaching tyre valve/tyre pressure sensor(arrow) to prevent damage to tyre pressure sensor.
9. Remove depressor from wheel rim flange.
10. Fill tyres to a maximum tyre pressure of 3.3 bar (bead seating pressure).
11. ⚠ Never increase the inflation pressure when the tyre bead does not lie completely against the wheel rim flange.This would lead to prior damage to the tyre and/or the wheel rim. — Release air if the tyre beads do not lie completely against the edge of the wheel rim.
