Tire Mounting and Demounting

MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING
Use tire changing machine to mount or demount tires. Follow equipment manufacturer's instructions. Do not use hand tools or tire irons alone to change tires as they may damage tire beads or wheel rim.
Rim bead seats should be cleaned with wire brush or coarse steel wool to remove lubricants, old rubber and light rust. Before mounting or demounting tire, bead area should be well lubricated with approved tire lubricant.
After mounting, inflate to 240 kPa (35psi) so that beads are completely seated. Then adjust pressure to specified shown an tire placard.

WARNING:
^ Do not stand over tire when inflating. Bead may break when bead snaps over rim's safety hump and cause serious personal injury.
^ Do not exceed 240 kPa (35 psi) pressure when inflating. If 240 kPa (35 psi) pressure will not seat beads, deflate, re-lubricate and reinflate. Over inflation may cause bead to break and cause serious personal injury.

Install valve core and inflate to proper pressure.
