TO MOUNT THE TIRE ONTO THE WHEEL:
CAUTION:
Before carrying out this procedure, deflate the tire fully, and remove all
the wheel weights.
STEP 1:
Spread tire lubricant liberally on the complete circumference of the tire bead to avoid
damage to the tire bead to avoid damage to the tire and to facilitate the mounting
procedure (Fig.16).
STEP 2:
Lock the wheel, using the inner part of the clamping jaws.
NOTE: When you are working with wheels of the same size, it is not always
necessary to lock and unlock the hex shaft. Instead, move the swing arm sideways
with the hex shaft locked.
STEP 3:
Move the tire so that the bead passes below the front section of the mounting head and
is brought up against the edge of the rear section of the mounting head. (See Fig. 17)
Keep the tire bead pressed down into the wheel rim channel with your hands (Fig. 18).
Keep hands clear of the mounting head. Then, depress the reverse pedal to rotate the
turntable clockwise. Continue this process throughout the entire circumference of the
wheel and tire.
STEP 4:
Insert the inner tube (if there is one).
STEP 5:
Repeat the steps above the mount the other side of the tire.
