4.0 MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT!
BEFORE MOUNTING A TIRE ON A RIM, PAY
ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING:
A. THE RIM MUST BE CLEAN AND IN GOOD
CONDITION: IF NECESSARY CLEAN IT AFTER
REMOVING ALL WHEEL-WEIGHTS INCLUDING
‘TAPE WEIGHTS’ INSIDE THE RIM.
B. THE TIRE MUST BE CLEAN AND DRY, WITHOUT
ANY DAMAGE TO THE BEAD.
C. REPLACE THE RUBBER VALVE STEM WITH A
NEW ONE OR REPLACE THE ‘O’ RING IF THE
VALVE STEM IS MADE OF METAL.
D. IF THE TIRE REQUIRES A TUBE, MAKE SURE
THE TUBE IS DRY AND IN GOOD CONDITION.
E. LUBRICATION IS NECESSARY TO MOUNT THE
TIRE CORRECTLY AND GET A PROPER
CENTERING. BE SURE YOU ARE USING
APPROVED LUBRICANT ONLY.
F. MAKE SURE THE TIRE IS THE CORRECT SIZE
FOR THE RIM.
4.1 DEMOUNTING TUBELESS TIRES
A.
Remove all wheel-weights from the rim. Remove
the valve stem or valve stem core and deflate the tire
(Fig. 4.1-1).

Fig. 4.1-1
B.
Break both beads.
Hold open the Bead Breaker, roll the tire/rim into the
Breaker area (Fig. 4.1-2). Ensure that the tire/rim
assembly is flat against the rubber breaker pads on
the side of the machine. Make certain that the bead
breaker blade is not over the top of any portion of the
rim. Now activate the bead breaker pedal. As soon
as the bead dislodges from the rim, release the breaker
foot pedal. It may be necessary to rotate the tire 90
degrees and repeat the above procedure to dislodge
all beads.
