6. Centering the tire on the rim is extremely
important to prevent broken beads. Place in a
safety cage or other restraining device. Using an
extension hose with an in-line gauge and clip-on
air chuck, inflate the tire (with the valve core
removed) to seat the beads. DO NOT EXCEED 35
PSI (240 kPa). It is essential to stand clear of the
tire while inflating it. Check to see that both
beads are seated all the way around the tire.
If the tire is tube-type, completely deflate it
(to allow repositioning of the tube) by removing
the valve core housing.
For tubeless tires, mounting depends on how
well the tire’s shape has been maintained. If the
beads are in or near their molded position, they
can be seated by inflating the tire, through the
valve spud. Where the beads have been
squeezed together, the use of an inflator ring
(either horizontally or vertically) will be required
to provide a seal between the tire bead and rim.
Re-insert the valve core and inflate the tire again
to the recommended operating pressure.
5. Thoroughly lubricate the tire bead area and
rim bead seats on both sides of the tire.
