9. Press the tire down so some of the tire’s bead is
below the rim to help keep the tire from rotating.
This should be behind the direction you will turn
the bar (Fig. 11).
10. Press down on the tire with one hand and pull
the tire tool clockwise around the rim until the
bead mounts on the rim. Use the center post as
a fulcrum.
11. Repeat steps 11 to 13 with the upper bead.
ATV TIRES
ATV tires are more difficult to mount and demount due to their small diameter
and softness.
1. If the shoe slides off of the tire, hold the shoe in place and break the bead
slower than usual.
2. Use a generous amount of lubricant between the tire and the rim to make
the mounting and demounting easier.
INFLATING THE TIRES
WARNING! Do not overinflate tires. Overinflating poses a risk of explosion. Always
use a pressure gauge (not included) to check tire pressure during inflation.
Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure to ensure the beads are properly
set. The tire walls may pop into shape due to the air pressure. Lift the tire if the
bead is not sealing.
You may need to spread a thick layer of grease along the bead to form a seal. Only
use a grease that does not degrade rubber. As the tire inflates, the grease is forced
out. Remove the grease and store it in a container for other use. Wipe the
remaining grease off the tire and rim.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
1. Maintain the tool with care. A tool in good condition is efficient, easier to
control and will have fewer problems.
2. Inspect the tool components periodically. Repair or replace damaged or
worn components. Only use identical replacement parts when servicing.
