2.5 Mounting Standard Tire to Rim

The mounting procedure is equivalent for both:TCX56 and TCX57.
Always use this "checklist" as a guide when mounting tires to ensure proper service.
There are four basic steps when mounting a tire to a rim:
• Position the bead on top of the mounting lip of the mount/demount head.
• Position the bead under the demounting lip of the mount/demount head.
• Lock the tire to the rim in the mounting position.
• Slip the bead into the drop center.
These four basic steps to mounting do not necessarily follow the same sequence,
however all four steps need to be performed to mount a tire to a rim.
Mount a standard tire to rim as follows:
Lubricate inside and outside of both beads of the tire to be mounted with supplied
mounting paste.
Position tire on top of the rim and tilt tire forward. Move the mount / demount head
into "working" position by pressing the column rotation pedal
Rotate the assembly clockwise until the lower bead drops into the drop center of the rim.
