SAFETY NOTES AND ASSEMBLY PREPARATION
•The Rodgard Runflat System is installed during the tire installation.
•The instructions in this user guide are intended for standard Rodgard Runflat
systems only. If different hardware is included in your kit, please contact
Hutchinson.
•To help assist with installation, some photos do not depict the lubricant on the
roller and runner.
•For first time installation, it may be beneficial to install the system on the wheel
without the tire. This will allow you to become familiar with the steps prior to full
installation
•It also may be beneficial to have an assistant help with the assembly.
IT IS MANDATORY FOR YOU TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AS OUTLINED IN
THE USER GUIDE. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS PROCEDURE AND/OR
NON-USE OF THESE TOOLS CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT THE OPERATION OF
THE RUNFLAT AND REDUCE ITS LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE. HUTCHINSON
SHALL NOT BE HELD LIABLE TO ANY CLAIMS IF THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS
PAMPLET ARE NOT FOLLOWED BY THE USER.
