Tube Maintenance
The long life and high mileage performance of modern tires will exhaust the useful life of most tubes.
Therefore, when a tire is worn to the point of being replaced, the tube is generally in the same condition
and should also be replaced.
If a valve cap is lost, clean the end of the valve before applying air so that dirt and dust will not be
blown into the tube. Install a new cap.
When inflating a tube for inspection, do not allow it to balloon. Such action stretches the tube too thin
and makes it too large to be properly installed in a tire without the danger of creasing or folding.
Make sure the valve stem does not rest against the brake drum, as excessive heat conducted from the
drum by the valve stem may damage the valve and cause possible loss of air pressure.
Mounting Tires
1. Do not gouge or nick the wheel. It is best to handle wheels on a wooden floor or rubber mat. Use
only plastic, rubber, or leather faced hammers.
2. Be sure the rim is clean when the tire is mounted. Dirt will damage the wheel, tire, and flap dur
-
ing operation.
3. Always inspect the wheel for damage before mounting the tire.
4. Do not overinflate. Use the recommended tire pressures.
5. Be sure to use the proper rings for the wheel

Demounting Tires
1. Do not gouge or nick the wheel. It is best to handle wheels on a wooden floor or rubber mat. Use
only plastic, rubber, or leather faced hammers.
2. Keep tire tools smooth and use them with care. Rim gouges or nicks occurring near the flange
may cause wheel cracks
