5.3 Mounting tires

Note: If mounting a tire starting from the bare rim,
clamp in place as described in section 5.1
Locking Rims.
Figure 5.3-1
• Lubricate the entire rim surface.
Figure 5.3-2
• Lubricate both beads of the tire, inside and outside,
with a tire lubricant.
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 THE TIRE AND OBTAIN
CORRECT ALIGNMENT ON THE RIM. BE SURE
YOU ARE USING AND APPROVED TIRE LUBRICANT
ONLY.
• Rotate the rim until the valve is in the 5 o'clock
position.
IF THE VALVE HAS A PRESSURE SENSOR
(T.P.M.S.), PAY ATTENTION NOT TO KNOCK IT WITH
THE TOOL OR THE BEAD.
• 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.
BEFORE BRINGING THE WORK ARM INTO THE
WORKING POSITION MAKE SURE THE MOUNT/
DEMOUNT TOOL IS NOT LOCKED IN A POSITION
SUCH AS TO KNOCK AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE
RIM.
Figure 5.3-3
• Engage the lower bead OVER the mounting wing
and UNDER the demounting claw.
• Turn the wheel clockwise and push the tire down
into the drop centre, opposite to the mount/demount
head.
• Mount the upper bead in the same way.
Note: With low profi le tires it is possible to use the
Bead Pusher and Bead Breaker Disc devices as
described in the sections below .
