5.2 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 fi nger 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 profi le tyres the bead
depressor tool "MX" (optional #EAA0247G70A) can
help to facilitate mounting of the top bead.

EXPECIALLY STIFF TIRES IT IS RECOMMENDED TO
USE THE EASYMONT-PRO OPTIONAL ACCESSORY.
