It is recommended that the changing of tyres and
wheels is carried out in a professional tyre
workshop which is equiped to handle this type of
work.
DANGER: When welding the discs the
tyre must be away from the rim/ disc,
DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
When mounting the tyre on the disc the pressure
limit is 250 kPa. If the tyre does not go on the disc
properly, remove it and refit. When the tyre is
positioned correctly on the disc, inflate to correct
pressure.

- Lift up the filter housing cover (1)
- Remove the filter element (2) and knock it with the
palm of the hand, use a vacuum cleaner from the
direction air goes in or blow it clean with
compressed air from the centre outwards. Make

Use recommended fluid only.
Add fluid until the level is between the min. and
max. marks.
