4. Notes when using inner tubes
3. Removing the tires
}
To remove a tire, deflate the
tire and then push the bead
on one side of the tire into
the gorge of the rim as
shown in the illustration.
Note:
Be sure to only push in the bead on one side of the tire. If you push
the beads in on both sides, the tires will be difficult to remove. If you
push in the beads on both sides, inflate the tire once more to lock the
beads, and then remove the tire by starting the procedure from the
beginning again.
}
Remove the bead on one side of the tire starting from the
point closest to the air valve, and then remove the bead on
the other side of the tire.
}
Loosen the locking ring of the air valve and remove the air
valve.
}
Insert the bead on one side of the tire as shown
in the illustration.
}
Liberally moisten the outer edges of the rim and
the tire beads, and place the slightly-inflated
inner tube inside the tire so that it can slide
smoothly.
}
Check that the air valve of the inner tube is appropriate for
use with the rim.
}
Insert the bead on one side of the tire starting from the side
of the rim opposite the air valve. Be careful not to pinch the
tube at this time. If necessary, use soapy water.
}
Inflate the inner tube until the tire locks into place.
}
Contact your dealer for the specifications of inner tubes that
can be used.
