Tires, Mounting

• Pay attention to the safety precautions and conditions. Refer to => [ Safety Precautions and Conditions for Removing and Installing Tires, Wheels with Tire Pressure Monitoring System ] Service Precautions.

• When changing a tire, it is recommended to change the tire pressure sensor seals at the same time.

- Coat rim flanges, tire beads and inside of upper tire beads thoroughly with tire mounting paste.

Install the inner side of the tire first.

- Turn the disc wheel on tire mounting device so that valve/tire pressure sensor arrow- arrow - is opposite to the mounting head.






- Push the tires between the tire valve/tire pressure sensor and the mounting head into the bed - direction of arrow -.

- Let the tire mounting device run clockwise.

- Mounting of the lower bead ends before the tire valve/tire pressure sensor to prevent damage to tire pressure sensor.

Tire bead now slips over the rim flange. Wheel may be turned only as far until mounting head is located just in front of tire valve/tire pressure sensor.

- Make sure the tire bead sits correctly on the assembly head and let the tire mounting device run clockwise.

- Mounting of the upper bead ends before the tire valve/tire pressure sensor to prevent damage to tire pressure sensor.

Tire bead now slips over the rim flange. Wheel may be turned only as far until mounting head is located just in front of tire valve/tire pressure sensor.

- Inflate the tire to maximum pressure of 3.3 bar (spring pressure).

If tire beads do not make contact completely on disc wheel edge, pressure must not be increased under any circumstances.

Pre-damage to tire or disc wheel would result.

- If tire beads do not make contact completely on disc wheel edge, then release air, press off tire bead once more and coat rim flange thoroughly again with tire mounting paste.

- Inflate the tire to maximum pressure of 3.3 bar (spring pressure).

- If tire beads make contact on bead seat without problems, then increase inflation pressure to 4 bar to settle tire.

- Install a new nickel plated valve insert and fill the tire with air to the specified tire pressure.

- Balance the wheel.

- Install the wheel and tighten the wheel bolts. Refer to => [ Wheel Bolt Torque Specification ] [1][2]Specifications.
