Removal and Installation

Mounting and Dismounting
Use tire changing machine to mount or dismount tires. Follow equipment manufacturer's instructions.

CAUTION:
^ 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 dismounting tire, bead area should be well lubricated with approved tire lubricant.
^ After mounting, inflate 240 kPa (35 psi), so that beads are completely seated. Then adjust pressure as specified, shown in the tire placard.
^ Valve caps should be kept on valves to keep dust and water out.

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.

Repair
There are many different materials and techniques on the market to repair tires. As not all of these work on all types of tires, tire manufacturers have published detailed instructions on how and when to repair tires. These instructions can be obtained from the tire manufacturer
