5.7 Mounting tires onto multi-piece
rim/wheel assemblies
1.
Roll the tire on the footboard (the tube and flap must be
in place).
NOTE: O.T.R. TIRES AND RIMS ARE VERY HEAVY
AND AN OUTSIDE LIFTING TOOL MAY BE
REQUIRED.
For tube type only, the valve should be placed at 12
o’clock, for easier mounting.
2.
Slide the tire onto the rim with the footboard or with the
bead breaker disc, if necessary.
3.
Mount all the assembly components.
4.
Engage one edge of the lock ring in its seat and
complete the mounting process with the bead breaker
disc.
In the initial mounting phase hold the rim edge in its
seat with a bar (
Fig.5.7-1
).
DO NOT INFLATE THE TIRE ON THE MACHINE. THIS
MACHINE IS NOT AN INFLATION DEVICE.
FOR INFLATION PLACE THE WHEEL IN AN
APPROVED INFLATION RESTRAINT DEVICE (IN THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CONSULT O.S.H.A.
REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE PROPER
SERVICING OF TRUCK, WHEELS AND RIMS).
