Wheel & Rim Safety Manual
CAUTION:
Before mounting any tire, inspect the parts to ensure they match, are in good condition, and
have been appropriately prepared. See Safety Procedures & Standards for Servicing Off-Highway Rim
Wheels; Rim Wheel Components: Inspection Guidelines.
NOTE:
Install valve stud on the rim and tighten to proper torque before proceeding with mounting.

1. Place rim base on blocks with flange side
down. Lubricate tire beads and bead seat
areas of rim with an appropriate rubber
lubricant, such as a thin solution of neutral
vegetable oil soap. (Silicone or petroleum
based lubricants must not be used.)

2. Place tire over rim base. Place side flange over
rim base and push straight down with hands
as far as possible. Make sure side flange does
not bind on rim base.

3. Lubricate a new rubber-sealing ring with an
appropriate rubber lubricant and place into
sealing ring (lower) groove.
NOTE:
With some
tire and rim combinations it may be necessary
to hold the side flange down with the flat end
of the tool in order to expose the O-ring groove.

4. Stand on side flange to position it below both
grooves in the rim base and walk or pry lock
ring into lock ring (outer) groove. Be certain the
embossed “safety bulge” on the lock ring is up
toward the operator.
