4.2 MOUNTING TUBELESS TIRES

A. Clean the entire rim surface (Fig.21).
Liberally lubricate both beads of the tire with approved tire
lubricant (Fig.22).
NOTICE!
THESE LUBRICATION OPERATIONS ARE NECESSARY TO
MOUNT THE TIRE CORRECTLY AND GET A PROPER
CENTERING ON THE RIM. BE SURE YOU ARE USING
APPROVED LUBRICANT ONLY.
NOTICE!
SOME TIRES HAVE A COLOR DOT THAT IS TO BE KEPT
ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WHEEL AND IS TO BE ALIGNED
WITH THE VALVE STEM. IF THIS IS THE CASE BE SURE TO
ATTAIN PROPER ALIGNMENT PRIOR TO TIRE INFLATION.

arm forward so that the mount/demount tool is in its
working position.
Engage the lower bead OVER the mount/demount head
and UNDER the mounting finger of the mount/demount
head(Fig. 23).
Turn the wheel clockwise (right pedal down) while
simultaneously pushing the tire down into the drop center,
opposite to the mount/demount head (Fig.23).
