operating the lever situated in the middle of
front rail. Please remember that after a rain
the roof must not be opened unless it is
completely dry. To close the canvas hood,
draw the front rail forward and lock with the
mentioned lever (figure 15). At the same time
one opens the front door, so that the
weather-strip will be covered again by the
top-edge of the door. The heating is brought
into operation by moving backwards the
longer lever above the left-hand front wheel
arch. The push-pull rod to direct the air flow
over the floor or to the defroster duct is
located beneath the seat. Knob in front
position = floor heating, knob in rear position
= defrosting (Figure 16). In case a wheel
must be changed removal of spare wheel is
made easier by loosening the seat and
drawing same forward on the side of the
spare wheel. Then lift the spare wheel slightly
from beneath and remove it (figure 17).
Wheel changing does not involve any
troubles. First of all secure in any case the
Isetta to prevent rolling-off and tilting from the
car jack. To change a front wheel, apply the
hand brake, and to remove one of the rear
wheels, secure both front wheels by wooden
blocks or stones. Next remove the spare
wheel and place it within easy reach at the
side of the wheel which it to be changed. Now
remove the wheel cover plate by means of
the screwdriver from the toolkit (figure 18)
and with the wheel nut spanner being also
provided in the toolkit, slacken the wheel nuts
(figure 19). Only then bring the car jack into
position, i.e. below the frame side-member
just before the upward bend (figure 20) for
removal of a front wheel, and under the
engine carrying cross member at the most
accessible inward spot (figure 21) in case
one of the rear wheels is to be changed.
Thereupon remove the damaged wheel
completely by undoing the wheel nuts and
exchange it immediately against the new one.
Tighten the nuts by hand, release the vehicle
from the car jack and solidly tighten again in a
crosswise order. Have a damaged tire
repaired as soon as possible. Tire repairing is
best done by a
