Agricultural rim wheels
Mounting tires on the vehicle
CAUTION: Before mounting any tire, inspect the parts to ensure they match, are in good condition, and
have been appropriately prepared. See Safety Procedures & Standards for Servicing Off-Highway Rim;
Rim Wheel Components: Inspection Guidelines.

1. Thoroughly lubricate the tire bead area and
rim flange with an approved tire mounting
lubricant or a thin solution of vegetable oil
soap in water. (Never use antifreeze,
silicones, or petroleum-base lubricants.)

3. Before inserting a tube in a tube-type tire,
be sure the valve is at the bottom of the
wheel. Align the stem with the valve hole
and place the tube in the tire, starting at the
bottom. Place the valve in the valve hole and
screw the rim nut in place. Be sure that the
tube is well inside the rim before proceeding
to the next step.

4. In tube-type tires, the tube should be partially
inflated and the base area that contacts the
rim should be lubricated again to prevent
localized stretching.
2. Before placing the tire on the rim, be sure
the valve hole of the rim is at the bottom of
the wheel. To put the tire on the wheel, place
the inner bead over the flange at the top. Be
sure the bead is not “hung up” on the bead
seat, but that the bead is guided into the rim
well, while using the tire irons and/or rubber
mallet to work the first bead over the rim.
With the first bead on the rim, pull the tire
toward the outside of the rim as far as
possible to make room for the tube.
