CHASSIS 9-93
• When installing the tire, the arrow
1
on the side wall should
point to the direction of wheel rotation.
• Align the chalk mark put on the tire at the time of removal with
the valve position.
• For installation procedure of tire onto the wheel, follow the
instructions given by the tire changer manufacturer.
• Bounce the tire several times while rotating. This makes the
tire bead expand outward to contact the wheel, thereby facili-
tating air inflation.
• Inflate the tire.
"
• In this condition, check the “rim line” cast on the tire side
walls. The line must be equidistant from the wheel rim all
around. If the distance between the rim line and wheel rim
varies, this indicates that the bead is not properly seated. If
this is the case, deflate the tire completely and unseat the
bead for both sides. Coat the bead with lubricant and fit the
tire again.
• When the bead has been fitted properly, adjust the pressure
to specification. ( 2-26)
• As necessary, adjust the tire balance.
BALANCER WEIGHT INSTALLATION
• When installing the balancer weights to the wheel, set the two
balancer weights on both sides of wheel rim.
* Do not inflate the tire to more than 400 kPa (4.0kgf/
cm
2
). If inflated beyond this limit, the tire can burst
and possibly cause injury. Do not stand directly over
the tire while inflating.
* In the case of preset pressure air inflator, pay special
care for the set pressure adjustment.
Do not run with a repaired tire at a high speed.
Rim line
Weight difference between the two balancer weights
must be less than 10 g.
