Tyre Maintenance; Disposal / Recycling Of Materials - Sopur Shark RS Gebrauchsanweisung

6.0 tyre maintenance

Tyres
The Shark RS / RT is equipped with special 26''
tyres on the rear wheels and a 26'' drive wheel.
Make sure that they are always at the recom-
mended tyre pressure, as this will significantly
affect the drive characteristics of your Shark RS /
RT. If the tyre pressure is too low, movement and
manoeuvrability is made more difficult due to the
increased rolling resistance and this also increas-
es the amount of effort required.
The optimum tyre pressure is printed on each
tyre.
fitting and repairing tyres
Before fitting a new inner tube:
• Inspect the base of the rim and the tyre inner
wall
for foreign bodies and if necessary
clean thoroughly.
• Check the condition of the rim tape, particularly
at the valve hole. Only well fitting,
strong rim tape offers long-term protection against
inner tube damage through burrs and
sharp spoke heads.
inflation:
Check all round on both sides, to make sure that
the inner tube is not trapped between the tyre
bead and the rim. Push the valve back gently and
pull it back out, so that the inner tube achieves an
optimum position around the valve.
tube tyres
As an option you can have tube tyres with full
carbon rims.
With these, please note:
Tube tyres must be glued to the rim by a special-
ist.
Should you have a puncture, you must not con-
tinue to ride (the immediate consequences are
an increased risk of accident and the rim will be
destroyed).
caution!
after fitting, check the tyre pressure.
it is essential that you maintain regulation tyre
pressure and keep the tyres in perfect condi-
tion, in order to ensure your personal safety
and keep your shark rs / rt running prop-
erly.
