7.2.5 TIRE REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT

Repair a flat tire by removing the tire completely from the
rim. Proper tire changing equipment is necessary to remove
and remount the tire. Apply a radial tire patch on the inside
of the tire over the puncture or hole.

Remount the tire on the rim using ONLY WATER as a bead
lubricant. Spoon the tire onto the rim to prevent tire bead area
damage. THE TIRE MAY EXPLODE IF OVER-INFLATED.
Place the tire and rim assembly in a protective cage to inflate
and to seat the beads. Never inflate over 32 psi (220 kPa) to
seat the bead. Once both beads are seated, deflate to 3.5 psi
(24 kPa), 5 psi (34.5 kPa) maximum operating pressure. A
special, low pressure tire gauge (Part No. 619-10) is avail-
able from your CENTAUR dealer.

Replace badly worn or damaged tires with original equip-
ment Goodyear tires. Consult your CENTAUR dealer if in
doubt. Any other tires (size, type or tread pattern), will affect
the skid steering characteristics of the vehicle.
