4.2 Mounting tubeless tires
A. Lubricate the entire rim surface (Fig. 4.2-1).
Lubricate both beads, inside and outside, (Fig. 4.2-2).
WARNING
THE TIRE MUST BE SUFFICIENTLY LUBRICATED
WITH THE SUPPLIED TIRE PASTE AND BRUSH.
WARNING
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.
B. Lock the rim on the turntable and rotate it to have the
valve in 5 o'clock position. This is particularly important
for cars equipped with TPMS sensors.
Place the tire to be mounted on the rim. Swing the
mounting arm forward so that the mount/demount head
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. 4.2-3).
C. Mount the upper bead following the directions in section
B. With low profi le tires, the pneumatic bead holding and
mounting tool can help to facilitate operations (Fig. 4.2-4).
4.2.1 Use the bead presser as a mounting
help device.
A. Mount the fi rst bead.
Position the roller (Item 1) and the bead pusher tool (Item
2) as showed in Fig. 4.2-5.
B. Lower the bead pusher so that the roller and the bead
pusher tool on the tire help keeping the bead into the drop
center (Fig. 4.2-4).
The bead pusher tool follows the tire rotation during the
mounting operation.
Bring the roller and the bead pusher tool back to rest
position.
