• Bounce the tire several times while rotating. This makes the
tire bead expand outwards, and thus makes inflation easier.
NOTE:
Before inflating, confirm that the balance mark lines up with
the valve stem.
• Pump up the tire with air.
WARNING:
Do not inflate the tire to more than 4.0 kg/cm 2 (56 psi). The
tire could burst with sufficient force to cause severe injury.
Never stand directly over the tire while inflating it.
NOTE:
Check the "rim line" cast on the tire side walls. It must be
equidistant from the wheel rim all the way around. If the
distance between the rim line and wheel rim va ires, this
indicates that the bead is not properly seated. If this is so,
deflate the tire completely, and unseat the bead for the both
sides. Coat the bead with lubricant, any try again.
• After tire is properly seated to the wheel rim, adjust the
pressure to the recommended pressure. Correct the wheel
balance if necessary.
WARNING:
Do not run a repaired tire more than 50 km/h (30 mps)
within 24 hours after tire repairing, since the patch may not
be completely cured. Do not exceed 130 km/h (80 mph) with
a repaired tire.
