Mounting tubeless tyres

• Lubricate the entire rim surface (Fig. 5.2-1).
• Lubricate both beads, inside and outside, (Fig. 5.2-2).
OBSERVE THE ROTATION DIRECTION OF
THE TIRE, IF REQUIRED. SOME TIRES HAVE
A COLOR DOT THAT MUST BE KEPT ON THE
OUTSIDE OF THE WHEEL.
LIBERAL LUBRICATION OF THE TIRE AND RIM
IS NECESSARY TO MOUNT TIRE CENTERING
CORRECTLY AND GET A PROPER ON THE
RIM. BE SURE YOU ARE USING APPROVED
LUBRICANT ONLY.
• Lock the rim on the turntable and rotate it to have
the valve in 5 o'clock position. Place the tire to
be mounted on the rim. Swing the mounting arm
forward so that the mount/demount tool is in the
working position. Engage the lower bead OVER
the mounting wing and UNDER the mounting
finger of the mounting tool. Turn the wheel
clockwise and push the tire down into the drop
center, opposite to the mount/demount head (Fig.
5.2-3).
• Mount the upper bead following the directions in
section B (Fig. 5.2-4).
With low profile tyres the bead depressor tool "MX"
(optional) can help to facilitate mounting of the top
bead.
