5. Press the valve holder inwards,
remove the inner tube and pump it up.
In the case of a large puncture you will
hear air escaping. A smaller puncture
can be found by immersing the inner
tube in a bowl of water. Mark the
puncture with a ballpoint and dry the
inner tube off.
6. Clean the area around the puncture
with sandpaper. Allow the air out of
the inner tube. Spread a thin layer of
solution out over an area larger than
the patch. Allow the solution to dry for
1 - 2 minutes
7. Remove the plastic backing from the
patch. Press the patch fi rmly over the
puncture.
8. Put the inner tube back into place
such that the valve holder is immedi-
ately in front of the hole in the rim
through which it must pass. Screw
the rim nut a number of turns on the
holder, put the valve back and tighten
it again (36). Blow the tyre up slightly.
9. Return the tyre to its original posi-
tion with your hands. It is very easy to
cause a puncture with the tyre levers.
Work from the valve holder and ensure
that the inner tube does not become
jammed between the rim and the tyre.
10. Push the valve part through the
rim for a moment and pull it back out
again. Pump the tyre back up, screw
the valve nut up to the rim and put the
dust cap back on.
T I P S
• Pump your tyres up hard. You should
just be able to make a slight indenta-
tion in the tyre with your thumbs. Soft
tyres can be damaged or punctured
more easily. Furthermore, tyres at the
right pressure means: easier cycling,
less wear on the tyre and faster and
better braking.
• The maximum pressure is usually
given on the side of the tyre (in Bar). It
is best to use a pump with a tyre gauge
when pumping up your tyres.
• Do you have any doubts about the
quality of your wheel or how long the
inner tube or tyre can still be used?
Your Batavus dealer will be happy to
advise you.

GOOD VISIBILITY AND EASILY VISIBLE

Effective lighting is exceptionally
important for your safety and that of
other road users. The rule: 'Good vis-
ibility and easily visible' still applies. In
addition to a headlight and backlight
which work well, back and pedal refl ec-
tors and refl ecting strips on the tyres
are also very important.

THE HEADLIGHT

Many Batavus bicycles have a patented
Batavus discovery: the Clerion halogen
headlight (37). This powerful halogen
lamp is equipped with an integrated
refl ector and is brighter and has a
longer life than other bicycle lights.
The secret lies in the lens. This used
to be in the glass at the front of the
light. Now the lens is in the refl ecting
parabola at the back of the light. As a
result the light yield is superior. Various
