4.2 Mounting tubeless tires
A.
Lubricate the entire rim surface (Fig. 4.2-1).
Lubricate both beads, inside and outside, (Fig. 4.2-2).
WARNING
LIBERAL LUBRICATION OF THE TIRE AND RIM IS
NECESSARY TO MOUNT TIRE CENTERING
CORRECTLY AND GET A PROPER ON THE RIM. BE
SURE YOU ARE USING APPROVED LUBRICANT
ONLY.
WARNING
OBSERVE THE ROTATION DIRECTION OF THE TIRE,
IF REQUIRED. SOME TIRES HAVE A COLOR DOT
THAT MUST BE KEPT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE
WHEEL.
B.
Lock the rim on the turntable and rotate it to have the
valve in 5 o’clock position. Place the tire to be mounted on
the rim. Swing the mounting arm forward so that the mount/
demount tool is in the working position. Engage the lower
bead OVER the mounting wing and UNDER the mounting
finger of the mounting tool. Turn the wheel clockwise and
push the tire down into the drop center, opposite to the
mount/demount head (Fig. 4.2-3).
C.
Mount the upper bead following the directions in section
B (Fig. 4.2-4). With low profile tires the pneumatic bead
holding and mounting tool “Easymont Pro” - (optional
retrofit kit) can help to facilitate mounting of the top bead.
4.2.1 Use the bead presser as a mounting
help device.
A.
Mount the first bead.
Position the roller (Item 1) and the bead pusher tool (Item
2) as showed in Fig. 4.2.1-1.
B.
Lower the bead pusher so that the roller and the bead
pusher tool on the tire help keeping the bead into the drop
center (Fig. 4.2-4).
The bead pusher tool follows the tire rotation during the
mounting operation.
Bring the roller and the bead pusher tool back to rest
position.
