TIRE INSTALLATION
ý
WARNING
• While mounting or inflating tire, keep hands, fingers, etc. from exposed areas between the tire
bead and rim.
1. Clean both tire beads to remove dirt or other foreign matter.
2. Where the tire beads seat, clean the wheel rim with a wire brush. Wipe away any debris with a clean
cloth.
See following NOTE.
NOTE:
Because tubeless tires require a perfect seal in order to seat, keeping the tire and rim clean is very
important.
3. Apply a liberal amount of tire-mounting lubricant (soap and water solution) to both tire beads and rim
flanges.
4. Install the tire on the rim from the valve stem side. If there is no tire machine available, use a rubber mallet
and tire iron.
5. Remove the valve core, and position tire so that both beads are on the rim flange narrow bead seats.
6. Place tire and wheel assembly against wall in upright position and push it against wall while inflating tire
to 30-35 psi (2.07-2.42 Bars). The three-point contact (wall, floor, and hand) will help ensure that beads
snap into place and form a proper seal as tire is inflated
(Figure 8-2, Page 8-3)
.
See following WARN-
ING.

WARNING
• Do not use a compressed air source with pressure over 100 psi (6.90 Bars). Due to low
pressure requirements of a small tire, over-inflation could be reached almost instantly with a
high pressure air supply. Over-inflation could cause tire to explode, possibly resulting in
severe personal injury.
