NOTE:
An air leak could be due to a punctured casing, faulty valve core, improperly seated valve stem, or improperly
seated tire bead.
Small holes in the casing can be plugged using a standard automotive tubeless tire repair kit available
at auto supply stores.
2.
When the cause of the air leak has been determined, remove tire from the rim and repair as required.
TIRE INSTALLATION
WARNING
• While mounting or inflating tire, keep hands, fingers, etc. from exposed areas between the tire bead
and rim.
1.
Clean both tire beads to remove dirt or other foreign matter.
2.
Where the tire beads seat, clean the rim with a wire brush. Wipe away any debris with a clean cloth.
See
following NOTE.
NOTE:
Because tubeless tires require a perfect seal in order to seat, keeping the tire and rim clean is very important.
3.
Apply a liberal amount of tire-mounting lubricant (soap and water solution) to both tire beads and rim flanges.
4.
Install the tire on the rim from the valve stem side. If there is no tire machine available, use a rubber mallet
and tire iron.
5.
Remove the valve core, and position the tire so that both beads are on the rim flange narrow bead seats.
6.
Place the tire and wheel assembly against a wall in an upright position and push it against the wall while inflating
the tire to the recommended pressure.
See Vehicle Specifications on page 2-1.
The three-point contact
(wall, floor, and hand) will help ensure that beads snap into place and form a proper seal as the tire is inflated
.
See following WARNING.
WARNING
• Do not use a compressed air source with pressure over 100 psig (689.48 kPa). Due to the low pressure
requirements of a small tire, over-inflation could be reached almost instantly when using a high
pressure air supply. Over-inflation could cause the tire to explode, possibly resulting in personal injury.
7.
Quickly remove the air nozzle and install the valve core.
8.
Adjust air pressure in the tire to recommended pressure.
See Vehicle Specifications on page 2-1.
9.
Immerse the wheel and tire assembly in water to make sure there are no leaks.
