Now the tire (with repaired or new inner tube) should be assembled as follows:
•
Put the valve through the opening in the rim.
•
Carefully place the tire around the rim.
•
Add a little air to the inner tube in order to position it comfortably around the rim.
•
Pull the tire onto the rim as far as possible.
•
Allow all air to escape from the inner tube.
•
Now pull the tire completely onto the center of the rim as tightly as possible.
The rim has a room into which the tire must be pulled, in order to create sufficient space to be able to pull the
complete tire onto the rim by hand.
•
Pull the tire completely onto the rim.
Do not use tire levers to do this, because the inner tube is easily damaged by these. Moreover, the
tire is easily assembled without tire levers.

Make sure that the tire is properly fitted onto the rim.
The inner tube may not protrude from under the tire anywhere!
•
Pump up the tire.
•
Mount the wheel back onto the wheelchair. See ’Removing the back wheels’.
