MOUNTING TUBE TYPE TIRES
1. Lubricate the beads and rim liberally.
2. Position the demount head and bead lifting tool as
described earlier. Mount the bottom bead first.
3. Round out the tube with a small amount of air. Avoid
pinching or forcing the tube. Apply rubber lubricant to the
tube.
4. Insert the tube into the tire paying careful attention not to
pinch the tube.
5. Depress the table top pedal and rotate only a short
distance at a time. This allows you to stop the process
should you suspect the tube is getting pinched.
6. Mount the top bead.
WARNING!
Do not force the tire onto the rim. Bead
damage could result making the tire unsafe and/
or creating the risk of injury.
