| MOUNTING |
STEP #1: FIGURE A
*Lubricate both beads and rim
Position tire so first bead is in
wheel well 180 degrees from value.
STEP #3: FIGURE C
Position tire so both beads are
in wheel well 180 degrees from valve.
Using tire iron or mounting
machine pry the second bead
over the rim flange. Start away
from the valve.
Continue to pry the second bead
over the rim flange, working your
way toward the valve.
Finish prying the second bead over
the rim flange at the valve. | |
STEP #2: FIGURE B
Using tire iron or
mounting machine,
pry the first bead over
the rim flange. Start
away from the value.
Continue to pry the first
bead over the rim flange,
working your way
toward the value.
Finish prying the first
bead over the rim flange
at the value.

| | | INFLATING |
| STEP #5: FIGURE E
Inflate tire to seat the beads.
Do not inflate over 35 psi to seat beads.
If beads do not seat at 35 psi, reposition
tire on wheel and relubricate.
Repeat inflation procedure.
Set to proper inflation pressure. | | STEP #4: FIGURE D
Center tire on wheel before
inflation.
Apply remote air chuck to
the valve.
Insert assembly in a small cage, or other device to
protect personnel.
Apply air to the tire and
wheel assembly. |
| GENERAL INFORMATION
- Tire mounting and dismounting can be dangerous, use only trained personnel.
- Use a non-metallic hammer to mount and dismount tire.
- Use proper tools and equipment.
- Be sure all components are clean and dry.
- If a tube is to be used, use only a new tube in a new tire.
- Lubricate tire beads, rim bead seat, and innertube with a vegetable based lubricant. Do not use petroleum based or silicon lubricants.
- To prevent rim to tire slip, the lubricant must dry, therefore dilute the lubricant with water 50%.
- Mount the tire with the pry notch 90 degrees from the valve.
- Mount and dismount tires on the side of the rim closest to the drop center.
- When prying the bead over the rim flange, use small increments.
- If a tube is used, double inflate to allow the tube to reposition itself.

DISMOUNTING
STEP #1: FIGURE G
Deflate the tire completely.
Keep open flame away from air
evacuating the tire (no smoking,
no flames).
Lubricate the pry notch with
approved lubricant. STEP #3: FIGURE I
Position the beads in the wheel
well 180 degrees from the valve
Position an iron or
mounting machine at
the valve.
Taking small increments,
pry the first bead of
the wheel. | |
STEP #2: FIGURE H
Push bead of the bead seat of the
wheel with a “bead breaker.”
Lubricate both beads and rim flange
nearest the wheel well.
STEP #2: FIGURE J
Taking small increments, pry the second bead off the wheel, starting at the valve.
Complete dismounting the bead away from valve. |
